Sacajawea State Park, Washington
At the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers, this 284-acre
park occupies the former site of Ainsworth, a 19th-century railroad
town. The land also holds unique history—in 1805, Lewis and Clark
and their Shoshone Indian guide camped here during their fabled
expedition. Sacajawea State Park features a blend of ponds, marshes,
sand dunes, and over 9,000 feet of freshwater shoreline as well as an
interpretive center.

The Dalles, Oregon
This quintessential frontier town rests on a crescent bend of the
Columbia River, between Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams, and welcomes
visitors with its picturesque backdrop of forests, orchards, and
high desert. Once known as the end of the Oregon Trail, The Dalles
occupied a strategic transfer point for Westbound pioneers heading to
the Willamette Valley.

Stevenson, Washington
Nestled in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic
Area, the friendly, laid-back town of Stevenson packs in lovely
scenery and layer upon layer of history. Peaceful riverfront parks
and downtown delicatessens, pubs, antique stores, and art galleries
offer a dose of small-town charm while the nearby Columbia Gorge
Interpretive Center Museum brings to life 15,000 years of geological
glory and compelling regional history.
Astoria, Oregon
Where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean, you’ll find the
oldest city west of the Rockies, Astoria—named for John Jacob Astor,
the owner of the American Fur Company. This “Little San Francisco” is
bursting with character, from its steep hillsides blanketed in sprawling
Victorian homes and weathered Deco-era buildings to its maritime relics
and downtown studded with chic cafés and whimsical shops.
