From Columbia river Gorge to Coast, OR
Need to get from Columbia River Gorge, OR on I-84 to Fort Steven's State Park. Best time to travel to bypass 205 to I-5 North and then to 432 to cross back into OR to Astoria. Anyone take this route?

Merge onto I-5 N, go about a mile to 302 B *405S - follow signs to St Helens (the city, not the mountain). Once on the bridge, get over into the right lane and take exit 3 to 30W (more St Helens signs). Get into the middle lane after exit so you aren't funneled off the first exit - I think it's Vaughn, you don't want that exit. Stay on the exit ramp and it becomes highway 30 W and goes all the way to Astoria and 101 (and through the nice town of St Helens). When you get to Astoria you just continue through town and merge with 101 as it crossed the Young Bay bridge - follow the brown signs to Ft Stevens, it will be a right turn off 101 just past the strip mall on the other side of the Young Bay Bridge.
