AN OREGON TREASURE

End of the trail, start of adventure.

We’re the end of some trails and the beginning of so many others. Astoria, Oregon, is both a gateway and a hub of a region steeped in history. And standing at the top of the Astoria Column, you can envision the hardships, bravery, and awe experienced by the first people to live in this corner of the world. Dedicated by the Great Northern Railway in 1926, the Astoria Column stands today as a national monument to those people, a uniquely Northwest work of art, and an unparalleled view of the meeting of many roads. Come start your journey to the region here, with us.

START A TRADITION

Take a flight of imagination

Launching a glider from the top of the Column is a beloved tradition many Oregonians repeat year after year. Start your family’s own tradition by buying a glider at the gift shop on your way up.

We really light up after dark

Every night, from almost anywhere in Astoria, you can look up and see our LED light show—a stunning view of the Column’s artwork every hour, on the hour.

360 DEGREE PANORAMA

See a whole new point of view

If you need a fresh perspective, take in the world from the platform of the 125’ Astoria Column—it’s only 164 steps to what we call the most beautiful view in the world.

Location and fees

The Astoria Column is located at 1 Coxcomb Drive. Directional signs can be found on 14th and 16th Streets. There is no cost to visit the park site or to enter the Column. Parking is $5 per vehicle, and serves as a valid pass for the remainder of the calendar year.
