From its title, it is obviously a column. But what is extraordinary about this landmark is the fact that it commemorates the story of Lewis and Clark in the form of pictures. Overlooking the coast and the bridge into Washington state, this majestic pillar is hollowed out to allow guests to climb up the stairs to the top floor for a balcony view of the state and the Columbia River. The colors are beautiful and the trees on the hill are extraordinary. It is almost as if this captivating historical column is part of nature itself.
