Along the Mighty Columbia — Scappoose to Ilwaco

Join us for a gentle September tour following the Columbia River from Scappoose, Oregon, to the waterfront in Ilwaco, Washington. We’ll gather at the Fred Meyer in Scappoose before heading north on Highway 30 through Rainier and across the Lewis and Clark Bridge at Longview. Shortly after crossing into Washington, we’ll take our first break—and invite Porsche friends from the greater Vancouver, Kalama, Longview, and Chehalis areas to join the tour there. From Longview, we’ll turn west onto Washington’s Lewis and Clark Highway (SR 4), following the mighty Columbia toward the Pacific. It is a lovely stretch of river, forest, small communities, and sweeping views as we make our way to Ilwaco. Lunch in Ilwaco Rather than trying to seat the entire club at one restaurant, we’ll finish near the Ilwaco waterfront, where participants can break into smaller groups and explore the local pubs, cafés, and restaurants. Wander a little, find something that looks good, and enjoy lunch with old friends—or make some new ones.
