  • Fort Clatsop National Park.  Fort Clatsop was the winter encampment for the Corps of Discovery from December 1805 to March 1806.<br />
<br />
The park is underwhelming.  It also manages to look like a cheap tourist trap.  To be sure, it does have lots of information about the Corps, but the visuals and presentation left much to be desired.
  • Astoria-Megler Bridge across the Columbia River, connecting Astoria with the Olympic Peninsula.
  • We left the Fort, and headed to Astoria, located at the mouth of the Columbia River.  More specifically, we visited The Astoria Column.
  • The column has relief carvings depicting the journey of Lewis and Clark.
