Views from the top of Astoria Column

The Columbia River, gateway to the Inland Empire for ships from all over the world, flows from the east in this view looking northeast.

Looking east toward Mt. Rainier

This view south, along the Coast Range, shows Saddle Mountain, the highest point in the north Coast Range, at 3283'.

Saddle Mountain is on the left horizon with Tillamook Head (1200'), near the center. This view looks toward Fort Clatsop in the forested area near the Lewis and Clark River on the right.

Compressed view of Tillamook Head, southwest of Astoria Column. Seaside, and the Lewis and Clark salt carin, is just the other side of the hill.

Looking west, toward Youngs Bay. Fort Clatsop is up the Lewis and Clark river, near center top of the photo.

Astoria and the Columbia at the Pacific Ocean

Astoria and the mouth of the Columbia River. Cape Disappointment is on the far center horizon.
