Lewis & Clark National Historical Park Tours and Activities

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)

Lewis and Clark National Historical Park

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

Odd how littoral vegetation most resembles that of the desert. Of course, every desert on the planet used to be covered with sea water. I suppose the connection could not be more obvious.
