Trails can be muddy so bring good shoes. The journey is more impressive than the destination and the trail can get busy. Still a good way to burn off calories.
Great trail in the woods from Irving to the Astoria Column, or just to the Cathedral tree if you prefer. Steep but doable even with kids in dry weather. NOT recommended during rainy weather as the the path is slippery when wet.
Start your hike from the Irving Avenue Trailhead to the Cathedral Tree. The Sitka spruce tree is over 300 years old and reaches about 8 1/2 feet in diameter and 200 feet in height. It’s a short hike to the tree and the trail continues on to the Astoria Column. Keep hiking along the trail and you will emerge at the top of the hill where the Column stands. The Astoria Column was built as a monument to the city in 1926. Beautiful artwork begins on the base of the Column and traces Astoria’s history. You can climb the 164 steps to the very top for an amazing view of the city, the Pacific Ocean, the Columbia River and the Astoria-Megler Bridge. If hiking is not your thing, you can also drive up to the Column. There is a small parking fee.

Park on Irving and hike all the way to the Astoria Column. Or park at the column and hike down to Irving. Or just hike up to Cathedral Tree. This tree is amazing! This trail is steep.
