Cape Disappointment near the mouth of Columbia River, Location Notes: Lower Columbia River Watershed (Oregon and Washington), Location Notes: Columbia River and tributaries (Oregon and Washington)
"The striking golden sandstone cliffs of Oregon's Cape Kiwanda create a dramatic color pattern with the frothy surf, pale sky, green mantle of vegetation and deep blue ocean water. Waves smash against cliffs at irregular intervals and provide a spectacular exhibition of the forces of nature. The cape, located just north of Pacific City, shelters an excellent boat launching site and a marine garden on its leeward side, and huge sand dunes stretch inland."

"Southbound travelers on U.S. Highway 101 on the Oregon Coast find this spectacular view at Cape Perpetua a few miles south of Waldport. A side road leads to this viewpoint where motorists may stop and admire the blue ocean and evergreen hillsides. U.S. 101 wends its way along the 400-mile coastline, offering many spectacular views and easy access to sandy beaches, state parks, lighthouses, and other coastal vacation spots."
