The Astoria Column has served for over 80 years as a beacon on the Pacific Northwest Coast. It sits in a wooded area 600 feet above sea level on Coxcomb Hill, Astoria, Oregon’s highest point. There are great views of the Columbia, Youngs, and Lewis and Clark Rivers.
Murals spiral around the 110-foot-tall monument depict the history of the area up to the arrival of the railroad. This is a local favorite site for picnics, watching sunsets, and is a prime viewing area for Independence Day fireworks.
Entrance is free but parking currently costs $5 per vehicle which is good for one year. The park can be accessed by foot trails as well. No reservations required.
Open daily from 5am — 10pm.
