Leaving the Gorge on the way to the Coast youll pass Multnomah Falls. At 620 feet, its Oregons tallest.

Approaching Astoria, these ubiquitous road signs remind you that youre on the Lewis & Clark Trail. Capt William Clark points the way wearing a tri-cornered hat while Meriwether Lewis sports the coon skin cap.

On the Oregon side of the Columbia you can visit their salt works at Seaside or a recreation of Ft. Clatsop near Astoria.

Crossing the Astoria Megler Bridge to Washington,

you can visit their encampments at Dismal Nitch and Cape Disappointment.

Cape Disappointment Light House
Captain William Clark first saw the Pacific at Long Beach, WA.
