Astoria shuttle

Does it come to the port and go to Fort Clotsop? Thanks, thinking we will do this instead of a tour

I posted some information about our experience with the shuttle in the following thread about Astoria (post #10):

The shuttle leaves and returns to the cruise terminal;however, it is a local shuttle that goes around the downtown area and out to the Astoria column. I do not believe that it goes to Fort Clotsop, so you would probably need to take a cruise excursion or rent a car to visit the fort.

Good time with this question. We will be there in a couple of months and were not sure whether or not to take a formal excursion. Based on what was posted in including post 10 by mary350, we will do this on our own.

If it makes a difference -

Fort Clatsop has static displays as well as staffed "living history" and informal guides. The port stop is definitely shoulder season for tourism in this area. I would phone Fort Clatsop directly to see what will be open and staffed on your port day. We have visited the fort when it has been open, but limited access.

Thanks everyone
