Cape Disappointment's name came about being when Captain John Meares failed to cross the river bar in 1788. This was accomplished several years later in 1792 by American Captain Robert Gray.
Cape Disappointment State Park (formerly Fort Canby State Park) is a publicly owned recreation area located southwest of Ilwaco, Washington and is the the southern portion ofLong Beach Peninsula. The lighthouse is where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean.
Winter storms can bring high surf that often washes over the rocks of the jetty and tosses the driftwood about that can be nearly the size of entire tree trunks. On this day the waves were 11-18 feet which at the height of the tide the waves were shifting the logs about and entire tree trunks were in the surf. But the waves never breached the log piles that protect the picnic area. Much high waves than the 11-18 feet waves of this day will swamp the area though and closes the area.

It is an incredibly beautiful world out there. Our goal is to try to capture some of it in our images. Living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest we never lack for places to shoot. But never pass up the chance to visit all the many other beautiful places this world has to offer. Along with all the wonderful creatures, large and small. We have also been blessed with many wonderful photographic adventures to some awesome places which we are happy to share with you. If you see any photo on our website or my Facebook page that isn't in our galleries that you would like see here please send me a private message by clicking the link above. I will always try to make all of my images available. Dotty of WesDotPhotography
