Start at Yaquina Head Lighthouse State Park and head through Newport to Toledo. Then follow the inland Siletz River Highway for some peaceful backroad scenery. Come back to Newport on Highway 101 on the Coast Bike Route, ascending a 400-foot climb of Cape Foulweather in a dedicated bike lane, enjoying legendary views to the ocean.
