Stunning Destinations You Won't Believe Are In The USA

7. The Mythological Thor’s Well

Unknown

Thor’s Well, an apparent sinkhole that runs as a seemingly never-ending drain, is a peculiar phenomenon also called the 'Gate To Hell' occurring off the coast of Oregon that has been attracting adventure seekers for years. It is considered a feature of the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area, encompassing 2,700 acres, where lots of people gather for critical views and experiences, including checking out the coined ‘Gate to Hell’ and its bizarre behavior. Potentially dangerous due to sneaker waves that may pull away strangers into the ocean or at least cause scrapes and bruises, backpackers should be careful during their visit. Photographers attempt to capture enticing pictures during high-tide and stay to spot the mechanics of the well during low tide. Although full of mystery and excitement, Thor's Well is not the only awesome destination in Oregon. The next stop is a hotspot for hikers.
