History, nature and beauty collide in the collection of parks. A beached shipwreck, a pensive lonely lighthouse, a lovely dedication to a dear brother, reminders of The Goonies and the culmination of Lewis and Clark's expedition find a place in this majestic landscape.

Another park to explore. Read up on Lewis and Clark to get the full experience. Enjoyed seeing how they lived and what they "saw" over 200 years ago.

Visitors center is good, has a lot of information about the expedition. They show two movies each hour. The one we saw was from the point of view of the Native Americans. Well worth watching.

Tip: During the winter is very cold and windy. Take a walk around. Pros: Very nice and helpful staff, beautiful forest. Cons: the fort looks very fake.

Lewis and Clark sure didn't have a picnic when they were here. Fort Clatsop is a great attraction but I can imagine how it must have been to live here in the winter.

Come in winter, when its wet...walk into the forest...walk amongst the buildings...go into the dark, dank interiors. That's how you get the feel of what these explorers experienced in their miserable winter in Oregon. Try to come in mid-week, when there are less people around you.

The view from the Cape Disappointment Light is fantastic ... but the billboard from Tennyson that blocks it is ridiculous. The Lewis & Clark Interpretative Centre is full of very politicized information of an extremely basic nature, with little regard to Native American culture and history. You would be far better off just to go to Warrenton, across the river...

Great educational experience - SUPER helpful Park Rangers. Nice walking trails. I've been to the St. Louis Arch display of Lewis and Clark's journey so it was fun to see the area where their journey ended. Lots of wildlife,flora/fauna, and Native American information - great trip.
