There are several viewpoints along columbia highway 30 leading from Longview beach to Astoria. The drive is very scenic with mountains on one side and columbia river on the other.

Astoria Column offers a brilliant view of Astoria-Megler Bridge and Astoria City. The column itself is around 200 feet tall and has winding stairs to the top. It feels like you are climbing to the heaven itself.
