As noted on the previous page, there's no way to get close to Pillar Rock unless you trespass on private property. In October, 2018, the Lewis & Clark Trail Heritage Foundation held its annual meeting in Astoria Oregon. The program included a short cruise, on the Portland Spirit past Pillar Rock. These photos are from that trip. Before the navigation instruments were installed, the top was cut from roughly 100 ft. to 50 ft. The Corps camped here on the north shore of the Columbia November 7, 1805, and again on the 25th where they crossed to the south shore.
