Summary[edit]

Description
English: Just below Cape Perpetua the coastline at Cook's Chasm is a dramatic, volcanic, rocky wonder. Thanks to the Pacific Ocean colliding into this jagged shore, there is a constant exhibition of water spouts and exploding waves—a natural phenomenon that is well worth a long drive to see. For an especially dramatic display, visit this destination at high tide or during a winter storm. Among the many wonders at Cook's Chasm, the two main attractions are Thor’s Well and Spouting Horn. Capable of firing water 40 feet or more into the air, these geyser-like formations are the result of sea caves that developed over long periods of time before collapsing, leaving the iconic openings through which the surging waves explode.
