164 steps to the top | View from the Astoria Column in Astoria, Oregon |
Built in the early 1900's the Astoria Column was erected to salute Astoria's explorers and early settlers for their critical role in the United States' stretch to the Pacific Coast. The marker was a project of Ralph Budd, president of the Midwest-based Great Northern Railroad. |
|  | In the distance you can see the long bridge connecting Oregon and Washington. |
