The Astoria Column — photo spot in 1 Coxcomb Dr, Astoria, OR 97103, USA
The Astoria Column
A 125-ft painted tower on a hill offering panoramic views of the Columbia River, Youngs Bay and Astoria — great for architectural detail, murals, and sweeping landscapes. Visit at golden hour (sunrise for east-facing river light; sunset silhouettes) on weekdays to avoid crowds. Short paved path and stairs to the base and paid parking nearby; small entry fee to climb the spiral staircase for 360° vistas. Bring layers—coastal wind and fog common. Historical murals on the column tell regional Lewis
