Check out "Petite Jolie" - the dress shop where Bella's friends shopped for dresses for the dance; "Bloated Toad" - the restaurant where Bella and Edward dined; "Thunderbird and Whale" - the bookstore where Bella wondered off and the Alley and Parking Lot where Edward comes to Bella's rescue by sniffing her out.

 

Tonight is the FULL MOON and it is also the night we will embark on our nocturnal tour of the Scappoose Bay. Venturing out into the waters, in an included kayak tour, to discover what lurks at night. Keep your eyes peeled for otters, beavers and much more!

We go off the beaten path through the small logging town of Vernonia, where Bella and Edward discover the death of Charlie's friend in the movie. Along the Nehalem River, we continue to travel until we reach the Oceanside town of Cannon Beach known for its famous Haystack Rock off the coastline. The next two days may be spent hiking, horseback riding, or relaxing on the beach where Jacob tells Bella about Edward and his family.

Days: 4 Silver Falls State Park, Oregon
Did anyone say cheese? Today we move inland to the Majestic Silver Falls State Park. Along the way we have the option of touring the Tillamook Cheese Factory, but don't worry they have ice cream too. Then we head east to Silver Falls State Park just in time to hike on the Trail of Ten Falls, and yes, this trail visits 10 waterfalls! If you don't have the legs for all ten then that's okay because the first two falls are impressive, allowing you to walk behind the wall of water for a different perspective. Keep an eye out for deer, because this is the location of the famous scene when Edward kills the deer.

This area is also home to award-winning wineries, maybe tasting will be in your agenda. Hood River also had a few cameos in the movie twilight: Multnomah Falls where Bella played baseball with the Cullen's; View Point Inn where the prom was held and The Carver Cafe where Bella often ate with her father.

On May 18, 1980, this active volcano erupted after 123 years of lying dormant.
