Fort Columbia with coastal strawberry and oyster and cranberry weekend trip

Fri, May 29 · 6:00 PM PDT

Location not specified yet

Description
Picture it: you sweep across the emerald span of the Astoria–Megler Bridge, the river flashing like hammered steel below. On the Washington side, Fort Columbia Historic State Park rises out of cedar and spruce—moss‑soft bunkers, parade lawns, and cliff‑edge lookouts where the Pacific breathes in and out like a living thing. The air tastes faintly of salt and fir. Gulls stitch white threads across the sky. You’ve reached the place where the river meets the ocean—and where the weekend slows into something timeless.

There is a chance of oyster closure. There is NO REFUND for that. Instead we will find alternative things to do near Fort Columbia
