The Astoria Column is a fantastic monument built in 1926 under the supervision of Ralph Budd, the president of the Great Northern Railroad. It depicts the Euro-American history of the Columbia River mouth and offers a panoramic view from the viewing platform, reached by climbing the 164 steps in a narrow, spiral staircase. The monument is modeled after Trajan's Column in Rome and is a must-see for anyone visiting Astoria.
