Historic coastal fortifications, wide ocean and Columbia River mouth vistas, rugged cliffs, dunes and weathered driftwood make Fort Canby a rich subject for landscape and historical images. Best light at sunrise and sunset when low light sculpts the guns, cliffs and surf; winter storm days add drama but expect wind and spray. Trails and parking are available inside Cape Disappointment State Park; check park entry/parking rules and lighthouse seasonal hours. Weekdays and early mornings reduce bus
