A trail in Yachats, built in cooperation with the Siuslaw National Forest, honors the native Alseas’ pronunciation of the locale: Ya’Xaik (YAH-hike); since the Alsea were mostly wiped out by European-transmitted diseases before anyone took much of an interest in their language, this is only an approximation. The trail runs from the rocky shoreline to connect with two other short trails: one to Starr Creek and the other down Mitchell Creek through the private Gerdemann Botanic Preserve. The preserve, which protects a lush assemblage of both native and exotic species, was opened to the public by landowners Jerry and Kathleen Sand in 2009. It is named after Jim and Janice Gerdemann, previous owners who used the forested site to test unusual plants from other parts of the world. Spring is a great time to view the various rhododendrons in bloom.
