Travel Guide

British trader John Meares named it “Cape Disappointment” in 1788, due to his mistaken belief that the mouth of the Columbia River was only a bay. The United States deemed Cape Disappointment strategically significant enough to base military fortifications there during the Civil War and World War II. Construction of a lighthouse was complet­ed in 1856. (June 2019) #History #Trovember

The North Head Lighthouse sits on a bluff high above the Pacific Ocean. Once a key navigational aid for mariners approaching the Columbia River from the North, it is now a part of Cape Disappointment State Park. (June 2019) #Trovember
Beautiful evening down by the lighthouse
Who knew there was a Waikiki beach in Washington! Nice relaxing spot near the campsites facing Cape Disappointment lighthouse #lifeatexpedia
