We camped at Beacon Rock State Park and started at Hadley Trail that connected to Hamilton Mountain. When we got back to the trailhead the parking lot was full.
The trail was very well maintained. My associates 11 and 8 did very well with the gradual elevation gain and the little amount of rock climbing.
When we got to the “false summit” the views of the Columbia River Gorge were absolutely breathtaking. My daughter asked if we could stay awhile so we ate lunch on a rock overlooking the Gorge.
The actual summit is nothing to brag over. We got to see a small glimpse of Mount Adams.
