Cape Disappointment State Park – state parks quest #17
Where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean, Cape Disappointment is a blend of stunning oceanfront scenery, atmospheric coastal forest, and millennia of history. Hike over the headlands, wander among wind-bent Sitka spruce, ponder centuries of human activity, or just settle down on a piece of driftwood and watch the sun sink below the watery horizon.
