Hikes To Take
Tillamook Head
Follow in the footsteps of the Lewis & Clark Expedition on this six-mile hike across Tillamook Head between Seaside and Cannon Beach. They went for the whale blubber. You’ll enjoy the forest and periodic ocean views. (But don’t go on the edge of the cliffs. They’re dangerous.)
Cathedral Tree/Column Trail
From 28th and Irving in Astoria, Oregon, you can hike a forest trail that passes the lofty Cathedral Tree and emerges at the Astoria Column.
Astoria River Walk
The Waterfront Walkway is popular with residents and visitors, alike. Nearly four miles of the paved pathway are in place, and it soon will stretch 5 miles from the Port of Astoria to Tongue Point.
Warrenton River Walk
Start at the new Lighthouse Memorial near downtown Warrenton, Oregon or pick up trail at Carruthers Park on the road to Fort Stevens.
Coffenbury Lake
One of our favorite hikes is this 2+ mile path that circles the edge of Coffenbury Lake at Fort Stevens State Park.
Shively Park
A beautiful, woodsy urban park off Williamsport Road that dates back over a century. You’ll find the entrance arch from the old Weinhard Hotel, which was moved to the park after downtown Astoria burned down in 1922.
Saddle Mountain Trail
Three miles each way. Allow 3-4 hours for hiking plus time to enjoy the spectacular views at the top. Highest point is 3,283 feet. Usually open March to December. Drive to the trailhead at Saddle Mountain, the highest peak in the northern Coast Range, by taking Highway 26 to a clearly signed point 14 miles east of Seaside.
