The day at Otter Rock (Devil's Punchbowl State Park)  and Otter Crest Resort was clear and warm for January. The visitors were just enjoying the great views. No wildlife was disturbed. The beach at Otter Crest Resort had very few logs washed ashore, and the cliff appeared intact.

The visitors were mostly taking pictures. All the dogs were under the control of their owners. No visitors went beyond the fences.
