Known as the “ghost forest” of Neskowin, this group of some 100 stumps and snags is all that’s left of a 2,000-year-old stand of Sitka spruce, once buried by an earthquake, now revered as one of the most remarkable natural phenomena in Oregon. This footage is from an extremely low tide on the morning of August 1, 2019. | Here Is Oregon

Neskowin Ghost Forest. It is a mystery that we will never know for sure, but scientists believe the trees buried in the sand are likely more than 2,000 years old. Believe it or not, they are not petrified, but have managed to survive due to being buried in the sand, preserved by salt water, and covered in mussels and barnacles. Only visible at extremely low tide, it is a mystery worth seeing. #oregoncoast #oregonexplored #tillamookcoast #beachlife #beachvibes #ghostforest | Trent Olson
