Lewis & Clark National Historical Park Tours

British trader John Meares named it “Cape Disappointment” in 1788, due to his mistaken belief that the mouth of the Columbia River was only a bay. The United States deemed Cape Disappointment strategically significant enough to base military fortifications there during the Civil War and World War II. Construction of a lighthouse was completed in 1856. (June 2019)

The North Head Lighthouse sits on a bluff high above the Pacific Ocean. Once a key navigational aid for mariners approaching the Columbia River from the North, it is now a part of Cape Disappointment State Park. (June 2019)

Very central in New York. It was a little older of a hotel but we really only went to sleep and it was perfect for that. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful.

Rainforests, rugged coastlines, wildlife and nature walks add to the historical value of this national park setting in northern Oregon.
