Thor’s Well, Cape Perpetua, Oregon

Thor’s Well is part of Cape Perpetua, a typical Pacific Northwest headland, a forested area of land on the central Oregon Coast, surrounded by water on three sides.

Many people, even the locals of Oregon do not realize the existence of an amazing nature place.

Thor’s Well is also often simply called the Spouting Horn. It is essentially a huge salt water fountain operated by the Pacific Ocean's power.

This natural spectacle is at its best when it’s the most dangerous to watch – at high tide or during winter storms.
