Beacon Rock State Park - Hamilton Mountain — Wednesday, Jun. 19, 2024

I was heading to Beacon Rock Trail but got sidetracked and went on this trail instead.  Great trail, fun spots where it takes a little more than just stepping up.  Amazing waterfall- loved the Pool of the Winds (see picture).  Summit was a big bust, in the shrubs with bugs, no view. If I were to do this again, I would stop short of the summit and take a side trail to one of the overlooks (there are many after the waterfalls).  The signage was pretty good on the trail but the ones that have the trails showing with the "you are here" star were so worn by people touching them it was impossible to figure out where you were.
