The Lewis and Clark expedition finally saw the Pacific Ocean from this point and camped here in November, 1805.

Chinook Point

Chinook Point is a headland in Pacific County, Washington. Captain Robert Gray, the first non-native to enter the Columbia River, saw the river from Chinook Point in 1792. His explorations gave the United States a strong position in its later territorial contests with Great Britain.
