#10: Astoria Riverwalk, Astoria, OR

Astoria is considered to be the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies — it was the region at the Western end of the Lewis & Clark Trail and the two stayed near present-day Astoria during the winter of 1805-1806). Your young explorers will enjoy stretching their legs and getting some fresh air on the four-mile Astoria Riverwalk, a paved, information-filled walkway that borders the Columbia River. Then hop on the Riverfront Trolley or take a ride across the 4.1-mile-long Astoria-Megler Bridge, which was dedicated in 1966 and is the longest three-span truss bridge in the world.
