Astounding Astoria




Astoria is as far north as you can go on the Oregon coast. It's where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. From atop Coxcomb Hill, the 360 degree vista is stunning. The Astoria Column on Coxcomb Hill rises another 125 feet and has 14 murals etched into the concrete to commemorate the westward sweep of discovery and migration. What an awesome place to conclude our travels along the beautiful Oregon coast.
