Humbug Mountain lies on the coast of Oregon, situated about 6 miles (10 km) south of Port Orford, with U.S. Route 101 passing by its northern base.
The mountain rises from the Pacific Ocean's sea shore to an elevation of 1,670 ft (509 m). It is the centerpiece of Oregon's Humbug Mountain State Park. This mountain is said to be the tallest mountain in the lower 48 states of U.S.A that directly descends into the sea. Its slopes feature an old-growth rain forest. A three-mile trail runs out of Brush Creek Canyon to its summit. The area is popular with hikers, campers, bike riders, and whale watchers.
