The first full day of our voyage was spent in Astoria, the oldest city in Oregon and the oldest American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains.
In town, we visited the Columbia River Maritime Museum and learned about the fascinating seafaring history of this area. From there we visited Coxcomb Hill and the Astoria Column for panoramic views of the town and river below.
The other half of our day was spent in neighboring Washington state at Cape Disappointment. We visited Waikiki Beach and saw an installment from Maya Lin’s Confluence Project. From there we continued to the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center for the full story on the famous explorers.
During dinner we left the dock and continued up the Columbia toward Hood River for more adventures tomorrow!
