For history enthusiasts, Siuslaw Pioneer Museum displays Indian and pi oneer artifacts. Twenty-five miles north of Flo rence is the town of Yachats. The Indian name means “dark water at the foot of the mountain.” One of the most enjoyable attractions is the Sea Lion Caves. An elevator built inside the cave takes visitors deep into the cave to view the wild sea lions that live there. Three miles south of Yachats is the high est point on the Oregon Coast, Cape Perpetua. Visitors can go to the visitors center and get informa tion about the area and its numer ous hiking trails. The city of Newport is 25 miles north of Yachats.
