Lake Quinault, WA - Garibaldi, OR
“Good Bye Washington”
As you’re leaving the cozy Lake Quinault Lodge, making your way south on 101, you’re passing through a series of “blink and you missed it” towns until you get to Hoqiam and Aberdeen. If you think there’s “Something in the Way” and you’ve found yourself in Nirvana you’re absolutely right!
Carrying on south you’ll come through Astoria and while crossing the mighty Columbia River you suddenly find yourself in Oregon.
Lewis and Clark, the famous explorers in the 1800s, are calling for an educational stop at Fort Clatsop and Seaside.
Hwy 101 now snakes over toward the ocean and meanders through small coast towns all the way down to today’s overnight stop in Garibaldi. Seefood lovers? You’re in the right place!
Is this Highway 1 ??
Hey, I thought we were riding Highway 1, I can't see it anywhere! Relax, although you're technically on Hwy 101, people refer to the entire stretch through all three states as Highway 1 or Pacific Coast Highway. However, in case of a breakdown or emergency, you should be able to name your location as exact as possible which includes the correct highway name.

Lewis and Clark - The Ultimate Road Trip Before Roads Were Even a Thing Once upon a time, in the early 1800s, when smartphones were yet to be invented and Google Maps was just a twinkle in the universe's eye, two intrepid explorers, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, embarked on an epic adventure. Their mission, should they choose to accept it (and they totally did), was to explore the great unknown American West, post-Louisiana Purchase. This was not your typical weekend getaway; it was the ultimate road trip, sans roads! Casting Call for an Adventure Epic Enter our dynamic duo: Lewis, a former army captain with a knack for natural sciences, and Clark, a rugged frontiersman who could navigate a river like nobody's business. Sponsored by none other than President Thomas Jefferson himself, these two were like the 19th-century version of Buzz Lightyear and Woody, boldly going where no American had gone before. Gathering the Crew: The Corps of Discovery To pull off this monumental task, they assembled a motley crew called the Corps of Discovery. This group was a mix of military men, skilled craftsmen, and, of course, Clark's slave York, who probably had the most adventurous life of any person of his time. They were like the Avengers of exploration, each bringing a unique set of skills to the table. And let's not forget about Sacagawea, the Shoshone interpreter and guide, and her baby, who tagged along, because why not bring a newborn on a perilous expedition? The Plot Thickens: From St. Louis to the Pacific Starting in St. Louis in 1804, the team boated, hiked, and occasionally "Oops, we're lost"-ed their way across the vast, uncharted American landscape. They encountered majestic mountains, vast prairies, and rivers that didn't always like being navigated. The journey was like a rollercoaster, except with more grizzly bears and less cotton candy. Friendships and Face-offs: Meeting the Locals Along the way, Lewis and Clark met various Native American tribes. Some were friendly and shared invaluable survival tips (like, don't eat that, it's poisonous), while others were a tad skeptical of these oddly dressed tourists. These encounters were crucial; after all, Lewis and Clark were the original influencers, making connections and networking without social media. The Return: Heroes, Maps, and Mosquito Bites After reaching the Pacific Ocean and realizing, "Well, we can't walk on water," they headed back in 1806. They returned as heroes, bringing back a wealth of information, including maps (hand-drawn, because GPS wasn't a thing yet), sketches of new plants and animals, and tales of landscapes so vast and beautiful they sounded like the stuff of fantasy. Legacy: More Than Just a Bunch of High Schools Named After Them The Lewis and Clark expedition is more than a historical footnote. It's a story of courage, endurance, and the insatiable human spirit of exploration. These guys were the real deal, the OG explorers who made Indiana Jones look like a stay-at-home hobbyist. Their journey laid the groundwork for the westward expansion of the United States and remains a legendary chapter in the American spirit of discovery. So, the next time you're navigating with your smartphone, spare a thought for Lewis and Clark, who managed to explore a continent with nothing but a compass, a sense of adventure, and an unshakeable belief that yes, there's probably more river around the next bend. |

Along The Way on Highway 1
Aberdeen is perhaps most famously known as the birthplace of Kurt Cobain, the lead singer, guitarist, and primary songwriter of the grunge band Nirvana. Cobain's legacy has left a lasting impact on the city, attracting fans and music enthusiasts. There are several memorials and tributes to him in the area, including a sign that reads "Welcome to Aberdeen - Come As You Are" as a nod to one of Nirvana's most famous songs. The Kurt Cobain Memorial Park, near the Young Street Bridge, where Cobain is said to have spent time, is also a point of interest.
Historically, Aberdeen has been known as the "Gateway to the Olympic Peninsula" due to its rich logging industry. It was once called the "Hellhole of the Pacific" and the "Port of Missing Men" due to the rough-and-tumble nature of the logging camps and the docks. Along with logging, Aberdeen has a history of fishing and seafood processing. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and various rivers made it a suitable location for these industries, contributing to the local economy.

Astoria is not just a city; it's a historical superstar with a zip code. Perched at the mouth of the mighty Columbia River, where it meets the Pacific Ocean, Astoria is like the gatekeeper of the river, standing guard where freshwater high-fives saltwater. Geographically, it's as northwest as you can get in Oregon without accidentally swimming to Washington.
The Astoria-Megler Bridge , spanning the Columbia River and connecting Astoria, Oregon, with Point Ellice near Megler, is a marvel of engineering and an iconic landmark with a rich history.
Completed in 1966, the Astoria-Megler Bridge was built to provide a continuous link between Astoria, Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest's coastal region, effectively replacing ferry services that previously connected the two sides of the Columbia River.
At 4.1 miles long, it was the longest continuous truss bridge in the world at the time of its completion. The bridge's design includes a cantilever truss section, making it capable of withstanding the strong winds and currents characteristic of the Columbia River.
The construction of the bridge faced numerous engineering challenges, including dealing with the river's strong currents, deep water, and the need for a high enough clearance to allow the passage of ships.
The Astoria-Megler Bridge Run, also known as the "Great Columbia Crossing," is an annual event that allows participants to walk or run across the bridge, offering stunning views of the Columbia River and surrounding landscapes.
Astoria-Megler Bridge
Now, let's time-travel back to 1811 when Astoria was established as the first American settlement west of the Rockies. Picture this: fur traders, adventurers, and the occasional lost explorer setting up shop and thinking, "Yep, this is the spot." Named after John Jacob Astor, a fur magnate who clearly had a knack for real estate, Astoria was the Wild West before the Wild West was a thing.
Fast forward to now, and Astoria is known for more than just its historical cred. It's a haven for film buffs (hello, "The Goonies" and "Kindergarten Cop"), a dream for architecture enthusiasts with Victorian homes that make you feel like you've walked onto a movie set, and a paradise for seafood lovers—because nothing says Pacific Northwest like a mouthwatering plate of fresh seafood.
But wait, there's more! Astoria is also a storybook of maritime history. With the Columbia River Maritime Museum and the hauntingly beautiful shipwrecks off its coast, it's like a treasure trove of nautical tales. It's where the river's power meets the ocean's might, creating a landscape so picturesque you'd think it was trying to show off.
Astoria - a small town with a big story, and it's waiting to write you into its next chapter!
Columbia River
|
The Columbia River, a mighty and historic waterway, is not just a river in Oregon; it's a veritable legend etched into the landscape of the Pacific Northwest. Spanning over 1,200 miles, it's the largest river in the Pacific Northwest and the fourth largest by volume in the United States. Here's why the Columbia River is more than just a body of water: Geographical Marvel: The Columbia River is a geographical powerhouse. It originates in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Canada, and snakes its way through Washington state before forming a natural border between Washington and Oregon, finally emptying into the Pacific Ocean. This river isn't just flowing; it's going on a continental tour! Historical Highway: This river was the superhighway of the 19th century. It played a pivotal role in the exploration and settlement of the Pacific Northwest. Remember Lewis and Clark? Their expedition reached the mouth of the Columbia in 1805, marking a key chapter in the westward expansion of the United States. Economic Engine: The Columbia River has been a crucial economic resource for centuries. It's a vital artery for the transport of goods, particularly timber, agricultural products, and, in the modern era, hydroelectric power. The river is dotted with dams, like the Grand Coulee and Bonneville, turning it into a powerhouse—quite literally—generating massive amounts of electricity. Recreational Paradise: For the outdoor enthusiasts, the Columbia River is like a playground the size of a small country. It's a hotspot for fishing (salmon, anyone?), windsurfing (hello, Hood River!), boating, and just about every water sport you can imagine. Environmental and Cultural Icon: The river holds significant cultural value, especially for the Native American tribes in the region, for whom the river has been a lifeline for thousands of years. It's also a focus for environmental and conservation efforts, balancing the needs of industry, recreation, and wildlife. The Columbia River Gorge: This part deserves its own shoutout. The Columbia River Gorge is a breathtakingly scenic area that offers some of the most spectacular landscapes in the country. Think towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and vistas that look like they've been photoshopped by Mother Nature herself. In short, the Columbia River is a thread woven into the fabric of the region's geography, history, economy, recreation, and culture. It's a symbol of nature's grandeur and a reminder of the intertwining of natural landscapes and human history. |
After passing Sunset Beach, Surf Pines and Gearhart you’ll reach Seaside. Here the Lewis and Clark expedition indeed undertook an effort to convert saltwater into freshwater, an essential task for their survival and comfort during their winter stay at the fort in 1805-1806.
This endeavor was known as the "Salt Works." Understanding the importance of salt for preserving food and maintaining their diet, members of the expedition set up a camp along the seashore, specifically for the purpose of boiling seawater to produce salt.
Today, the location where the Lewis and Clark expedition established their salt-making camp is commemorated at the Salt Works site in Seaside. It serves as a historical point of interest, providing visitors with insights into the resourcefulness and challenges faced by the expedition during their historic journey.
Cannon Beach is your next pit stop, and boy, it's a doozy. Home to the famous Haystack Rock – a 235-foot sea stack that's like nature's skyscraper. It's so cool even the birds are regulars; puffins love it here. Art galleries, cozy cafes, and the scenic splendor of Ecola State Park make this town a triple threat.
Cannon Beach
Manzanita: Small Town, Big Charm. As you wind down the road, Manzanita appears, small but mighty in charm. It's like that quiet kid in class who turns out to be awesome. With a laid-back vibe, this town offers a peaceful beach, quaint shops, and the kind of views that make you want to write poetry (or at least a catchy tweet).
Rockaway Beach is where you can geek out on trains at the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad. All aboard for a chug down nostalgia lane! And don't forget to grab some taffy; it's like a beach trip tradition.
And finally, Garibaldi . A tiny town with a big personality, it's a haven for seafood lovers. Grab some fresh catch at the harbor, and if you're feeling adventurous, hop on a charter boat and catch your own dinner. Now that's fresh!

Fort Clatsop: Let's Build a Crib
Tucked away in the lush expanse of the Pacific Northwest, Fort Clatsop isn't just a historical site; it's a slice of Americana with a spritz of lemon. This fort, reconstructed with more wood than a hipster's artisan coffee shop, is famously known as the winter encampment of the Lewis and Clark Expedition after their cross-country romp from St. Louis.
The Expedition's Cozy Winter Cottage
Imagine you've trekked thousands of miles across unknown lands, your GPS (Great Plains Slogging) failed because, well, it’s 1805, and you need a place to crash. This is where Fort Clatsop comes into play. It was the 1800s version of a winter Airbnb for Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and their crew from December 1805 to March 1806. Although not equipped with modern luxuries like Wi-Fi or espresso machines, it boasted all the must-have amenities of the 19th century—shelter, fire, and a solid roof not made of canvas.
More Than Logs and Legacy
Visiting Fort Clatsop today, you’re stepping into a meticulously recreated wooden fort that offers a peek into the past without the inconvenience of dysentery. The fort, nestled within the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, features exhibits, reenactments, and even some hands-on history lessons (because who doesn’t want to try lighting a fire without matches?). It’s as educational as it is entertaining.
A Tale of Two Captains
What's particularly intriguing about Fort Clatsop is the dynamic duo of Lewis and Clark themselves. These two didn’t just navigate rivers and map stars; they managed a diverse team of explorers through the harshest conditions. Their journals, filled with as many complaints about the weather as your modern-day weather app, provide a candid glimpse into the trials of early American exploration. And let’s be honest, their entries about the relentless rain are more relatable than we’d like to admit.
Turning Water into Wine?
Not quite. Lewis and Clark were indeed interested in methods to convert seawater into drinkable water. During their expedition, they experimented with a process to distill freshwater from saltwater. This effort was part of their larger goal to be self-sufficient and prepared for all aspects of their journey, which took them through a variety of environments where fresh water might not always be readily available.
The distillation experiment was documented in their journals. They used a makeshift still to attempt to evaporate seawater and condense it back into its freshwater form. Unfortunately, their attempts were not successful, primarily due to the limitations of their equipment and the rudimentary technology of the time. This reflects their innovative spirit and willingness to experiment and adapt to their surroundings, even if not all of their experiments worked as hoped.
The Fort Today:
Not Just for History Buffs
Fort Clatsop is not only for those who can quote historical dates faster than a Google search. It's a place where nature meets narrative. The surrounding area is a haven for hikers, bird watchers, and anyone who enjoys the great outdoors. The fort's setting in a vibrant, green landscape practically begs you to whip out your camera or at least a decent smartphone.
So why visit Fort Clatsop? Because it’s where history comes alive with a lot of heart. It’s where you can walk in the footsteps of America’s iconic explorers and not worry about stepping in something a bison left behind. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or just in it for the Instagram photos, Fort Clatsop is a must-see destination that promises more than just a good story—it delivers a great experience.
So pack your bags (and maybe a raincoat), and set your course for Fort Clatsop. Who knows? You might just leave with a deeper appreciation for canvas tents and homemade moccasins.
