Another of the most recognizable landmarks in town is the massive and majestic Astoria Column which lies perched atop of Coxcomb Hill. Overlooking the mouth of the Columbia River, it offers up some of the best views of the city and its surroundings with the Astoria-Megler Bridge and even Pacific to be spied off in the distance on clear days. Erected in 1926, the tall, slender tower rises up thirty-eight meters into the air with its exterior being coated in magnificent murals that depict significant events and scenes from the state’s early history. While some friezes focus on the local Clatsop and Chinook Indians, others instead look at the Lewis and Clark Expedition or the arrival of the railroads. Aside from taking in its amazing art, it is well worth traipsing up the 164 stairs to its top due to the phenomenal panoramas of the Oregon Coast on show.

This is hands down the best place to get a view of Astoria, the Columbia River, the Astoria Bridge, Young's Bay and everything in between, all the way to the Pacific Ocean. The views are stunning even from the parking lot. $5 parking fee. Keep your card and use again or leave for the next guest. Gift shop offers balsa wood planes and lovely gifts to take home to the pet sitter.
