If you only visit one place at Ecola State Park, it would be the Ecola Point Viewpoint. It is the vantage point that has launched thousands of photographs and paintings. The view is great in any kind of weather!
From this viewpoint, you can hike or drive down to Indian Beach where the Clatsop Loop Trail takes the explorer to even more impressive views. Clark gave this very accurate description:
“from this point I beheld the grandest and most pleasing prospects which my eyes ever surveyed, in my frount a boundless Ocean . . . . inoumerable rocks of emence Sise out at a great distance from the Shore and against which the Seas brak with great force gives this Coast a most romantic appearance”
—William Clark, January 8, 1806
