There’s no wrong way to climb Silver Star, but taking Ed’s Trail provides the most scenic route for reaching the summit. A 5-mile round-trip, Ed’s Trail winds across rocky ridgelines and through fields blooming with wildflowers in spring. Once at the top, the bald summit of Silver Star offers a 360-degree panoramic viewpoint from which Mounts Rainier, St. Helens, and Hood—even downtown Vancouver—can all be easily spotted on a clear day.

On March 31, 1806, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark established a camp at Cottonwood Beach while they secured provisions for the return trip through the Columbia River Gorge. Almost 200 years later, a multi-jurisdictional effort celebrated the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial in 2006 by opening Captain William Clark Park at Cottonwood Beach. Now, in addition to the existing water access at Cottonwood Beach, the park also features multi-use trails, restrooms, historic interpretive elements, picnic shelters and parking lots.
