Thor's Well, Oregon

The Oregon coast is jam-packed with 
hiking trails, wildlife, wonders, and breathtaking views unlike anywhere else. Many of these natural treasures are easily accessible and attract attention from visitors and locals during every season. Travel along Highway 101, and among the lengthy list of sights, travelers will find Thor's Well located just south of the coastal town, Yachats, within Oregon's Cape Perpetua Scenic area, according to Live Science.
Much of Oregon's coastal sights can be found not along sandy beaches but on the rocky shorelines. That's where the large round hole known as Thor's Well sits, collecting the rushing waters of the Pacific ocean's high tide until it shoots the water out in a wet, salty show (per Oregon Live). Some call this redoubtable beauty the "drainpipe of the Pacific." While others call it a "gate to hell." It would seem, however, that Thor's Well isn't exactly a drainpipe and certainly isn't a gate to hell or a deity as far as anyone knows.
