Clark's Mountain
About
Clark's Mountain is a summit on the northern Oregon coast, about 3 miles from the town of Seaside. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. At a nearby weather station in Seaside, July and August typically average highs in the mid-60s with only about 7 wet days a month, compared with around 20 wet days a month through much of winter. That station sits near sea level, well below the summit, so expect cooler temperatures up high. Several trails start close by. The Lewis and Clark Discovery Trail - Oregon Coast Trail is about a mile away, the Wetland Walk is under 2 miles off, and both Indian Beach Trail and Crescent Beach Trail lie within 3 miles. For paddling, the Necanicum River is less than 10 miles away.
