Lewis & Clark Trail
Astoria Oregon
Captain Clark's excursion party returned to Station Camp from the Cape Disappointment/Long Beach trek on November 20, 1805. On the 24th the Corps voted to explore the south side of the Columbia River for a winter camp (see page 334). I returned by auto to US HWY 101, crossed the bridge to Astoria. Although the Corps skirted this peninsula on their way to Youngs Bay, the Astoria Column murals include Lewis and Clark scenes in its spiral Northwest history collection. It's 200 feet high with 164 steps to the top. Right, Youngs Bay.
