The Astoria–Megler Bridge is a steel cantilever through truss bridge that spans the Columbia River between Astoria, Oregon and Point Ellice near Megler, Washington, in the United States. Located 14 miles (23 km) from the mouth of the river, the bridge is 4.1 miles (6.6 km) long and was the last completed segment of U.S. Route 101 between Olympia, Washington, and Los Angeles, California. It is the longest continuous truss bridge in North America.
Columbia River Maritime Museum – Definitely learned a lot about the tides and challenges of crossing the Columbia into the Pacific Ocean. The museum had interactive maps to show shipwrecks and did a great job explaining the challenges that fisherman and coast guards have dealing with the water and the mouth of the river.

Astoria Column – If you’re going to Astoria, or even driving through, take a half hour or so to stop at the column. The incline drive is neat and then once at the top, the views are amazing! You can even climb to the top of the column.
