Here you can learn how cheese is made and watch the cheese-packing process on the factory floor. And of course there's Tillamook Cheese tasting and a chance to get some Tillamook ice cream!
Our final destination of today is picturesque Cannon Beach where we will have some time to relax and enjoy the sand beneath our toes. Those who are brave can wade into the cool waters of the Pacific Ocean. We will do our best to make it to Cannon Beach in time to watch the sunset over the ocean.
