We often trailer up to Coos Canyon for our yearly snowmobiling adventures when it's not viable to go sledding to the South. You have to go early to have room for the truck and trailer, but you can head off in different directions once unloaded.Convenient restroom facilities is an added bonus.

Exceptionally pretty pullout and rest area on the highway. The stream, small canyon and falls are worth at least a dozen pictures. We saw this in Oct with fall colors - gorgeous!

We stopped for a look. It's really a very pretty stretch of the river, a small canyon. Certainly worth getting out of the car to look.

We love the little shop across from Coos Canyon- interesting gems, panning for gold (we didn't do it because we have a two year old, but someday soon!!), good prices for sandwhiches & icecream.

Interesting rock formations, rushing river and waterfalls. Gold was once found here, and people still pan for it! Worth a visit, especially in the fall.
