Cannon Beach is an amazing little town with lots of unique features that make it a one-of-a-kind stop along the Oregon Coast. I recommend the Cannon Beach Spa, Ecola State Park and of course, Haystack Rock. Stop to see the bunnies on the North end of town while you are here. Please also consider listing Seaside, OR. Again another unique coastal town that is super family friendly with lots of fun activities.

Glendale > Thunderbird Conservation Park
Thunderbird Conservation Park is a 1,185-acre regional park in the Hedgpeth Hills area in Glendale. The park is dedicated to preserving the desert environment. The hills were named after Robert Hedgpeth, an early homesteader in the area.
History
The park took its name from the World War II pilot training facility located four miles south of the park. The city of Glendale acquired the park in 1951 through a lease with the federal government. Ownership came in 1956 with the assistance of the Glendale Women’s Club and Glendale Rotary Club. Maricopa County operated the park from 1963 to 1984 and many of the park improvements were made during this time. In 1984 the park was returned to the city.
Activity
Park activities include picnicking, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, jogging and bird watching. There are about 15 miles of multi-use trails available for day hikers.
