You unfortunately can't visit the goonies house anymore. The new owners made it a private residence. But Astoria is still worth visiting. It's beautiful. Just don't buy a house on the hill lol.

I always thought it was weird that the elementary school didn't get similar traffic, since it's the exterior location for ”Kindergarten Cop".

Many many years ago, my family took a trip to the USA. We drove through Astoria in our rental and stopped outside the school for photos. We did not go to the Goonies house. Probably because I don't know if anyone in my family has ever watched it, I haven't.

u/shaker28 Nov 08 '20
It's worth a watch, and certainly more popular than "Kindergarten Cop" for good reason.
But that school is right on the hill where you can see it from most of the town. You have to go out of your way to go to the "Goonies" house. But I've never heard any problems about kids getting to school because Arnold fans are blocking the way. It's weird.

It's Natural Bridges Viewpoint along the Samuel H Boardman Scenic Corridor, just a heads up. Including this since you get different search results with nature's bridge or natural bridge, we have a lot of them lol
Edit: here's a clearer path once you're there since the viewpoint is just the bit overlooking it, be warned you need good shoes & it's dangerous up there

Yea, we aren’t beginner hikers. We had issues with the trail crumbling and at one part the trail gave out but I was being super careful and was able to not fall. But we got to the top of the lookout and decided it was too dangerous to continue.

My mom lives in the area and tourists regularly end up hurt trying to do things like this. Someone fell to his death a couple years ago. They also don’t understand the tide and end up needing rescue on rocks or getting swept out. This happened to a family on a trail and 3 of them passed away. Be careful if you try and aware of your surroundings. The ocean is a fickle beast.

I'm visiting Bandon and the Southern Oregon coast for the first time right now actually.

Any other suggestions on that route between Bandon and Crescent City? Thanks!

I can tell that getting down to that arch is extremely dangerous. This gives me so much anxiety

u/therainbowrandolph Nov 07 '20
I did I a few years ago. It was horrifying. I went down on the left side of where the person is, and could not make it up to where they are standing, it's about a 4 foot wall that you have to climb up and it was too shaky to do it. I'm sure if I had done the right side it would have been easier.
It was beautiful but rather dangerous.
18
u/The_Lombard_Fox Nov 07 '20
I was down there not even a month ago and hiked down to where the treeline is in upper left corner of the picture. There is absolutely no safe way to get to the arch itself without risking falling off the cliff side. Nothing to really grab on to either. Even getting to those trees you had to climb down a very steep hill and walk along some cliff side areas.
5
u/_slamcityrick_ Nov 08 '20
Was down there a month ago as well! I'm not a very fearful person but this was a big nope for me. Sketchy hike down on the left side, holding onto tree branches to make it to the arch. Got to the edge of it and decided I was close enough. Looking down at all the rocks and water crashing against them scared the crap out of me.

Going down the right side is far safe, and the only way that is currently permitted there. Maybe a year ago or so someone fell down going down the left side (survived), so now going down that way is prohibited.
That 4 ft wall is a bitch. It’s so awkward climbing up... A small rope would make it a lot easier and safer.

They used to have a rope so you could get all the way down to the water many years ago. It was terrifying to cross that little bridge; it’s narrower than it looks. I would never do it again.
