The Astoria Column

Column is closed so didn't get to ascend.

Beautiful 360 view of the city and ocean. Great place to see sunset! We were here two years ago to see sunset, and came back today around noon. It's equally beautiful in the day time. The column is temporarily closed, but it's still totally worth to drive up and pay $5 to see the views!

I came here 2 weeks ago. It’s a great place with spectacular views and many picnics. There’s a parking fee of $5.00 but I and many other people think it’s worth it. But the column itself is painted with murals depicting Oregon’s history from the 1700s- the 1800s on the outside and in the inside you can walk on a spiral staircase to the top where you can see even better views but as of now the door ud83dudeaa to the inside of the column is unfortunately closed. Fun fact- the Astoria column was placed on the bicentennial of Astoria’s founding.

There are murals on the column. Its like a painting that you have to walk in a circle to see.

Amazing piece of infrastructure! Historic a and majestic. The entrance fee is just $5 for the entire year! Great staff and very friendly. The items are a little overpriced at the gift shop, but the visit to the place is highly recommended
