Cape Disappointment - Memorial Day weekend

We spent an awesome Memorial Day weekend camping at Cape Disappointment State Park. It is at the mouth of the Columbia River, where it meets the Pacific Ocean. The park had tons of hiking and biking trails, 2 lighthouses, Lewis & Clark interpretive center, great beaches - what more could you ask for? We loved it! Can't seem to get the pics in order, but here they are!


Cape Disappointment Lighthouse - the oldest continuously running lighthouse on the west coast - began operating in 1856.
