Washington

Beacon Rock

Two kids, two parents, and 848-foot (258 m) of elevation gain. 

A few weekends ago we ventured out on a nice calm Saturday afternoon. Headed for the Columbia River Gorge. We decided to jump across to the Washington side and take hwy 14 east. To Becon Rock we were headed. It is a nice hike up. Countless switchbacks, of cement, board, rock, and gravel lead you to a rocky perch surrounded by trees with mostly a view east toward the Bonneville dam.

we made it up and back down, mostly in tact. Stopping for snacks in Camas and back home to NE Portland before sundown.  

I’ll let the photos do their thing...
