If you survive the twisties to Mist, take a right turn onto Highway 202, the Newhalen Highway. This leads you along 45 miles of farms, forests, and rivers as you wind through the coastal range to Astoria. Once you reach this town situated where the mighty Columbia River meets the Pacific ocean you will be looking for a place to take a break and get a bite to eat. Try the Rogue Ales Public House on Pier 39. The Kobe beef cheeseburger is highly recommended, and it's a great place to grab a growler of your favorite ale to take home. This trip takes about two and 1/2 hours each way from Portland plus stops.
Whoops I made a right turn in the Mist. Where does THIS road go? It ends up out over the water at the end of this pier in Astoria, the proverbial end of the road. Good thing they have food here!
