The Corvallis-To-The-Sea Trail is a 59-mile point-to-point hike in Oregon, starting at a low of about 18 feet and rising to a high of 1,785 feet. The route is rated easy, and the total elevation gain is 7,276 feet, with a total loss of 5,629 feet. The nearest town is Seal Rock, about 1.7 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Newport show July and August highs around 65 to 66°F with lows near 51°F. That station sits about 1,500 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the route run cooler. The trip takes about 23.5 hours. Bikes and horses are not allowed. Several shorter hikes lie within a couple of miles, including Cougar Ridge Trail, Antler Overlook Trail and Beaver Creek Loop Trail. Beaver Creek, a canoeing route, is about 2.2 miles away.
