Yaquina Head Lighthouse

Yaquina Head Lighthouse

This is my favorite lighthouse because it represents a personal victory for me.

At 93 feet high, Yaquina Head is Oregon’s tallest lighthouse, and a real beauty. It’s fully operational and sends out its light twenty four hours a day, every day, since 1873. If you are a lighthouse buff, be sure to climb the steps and view the first order Fresnel lens.

MY CONNECTION WITH THIS LIGHTHOUSE:

I first saw Yaquina Head in 2004. We were taking a road trip – our first vacation in many years—out to see Oregon and the redwoods for the first time. I was alive, and celebrating my life. Two years before I had been in a long coma, on a ventilator and near death for four months. When I finally woke up, I had to learn many things over again… how to wash my face, brush my teeth, feed myself. Eventually I learned to walk again. When I saw this lighthouse I knew I wanted to see it from the inside, and from the top, looking out to the ocean. I climbed all those narrow, spiral steps to the lens room at a time in my life when it was still difficult to get in and out of the car, let alone climb a nine story lighthouse. It was a moment of personal victory for me, an affirmation that I would make it.
