Beacon Rock State Park - Hamilton Mountain — Friday, Aug. 1, 2025

7.5 miles, about 2000 feet of elevation
Beautiful day with clear skies. We had a late start so it was hot for sure! The trail is seriously eroded in places, but it never felt unsafe going up. I was grateful for the gradual decline around the loop!

Enjoyed the waterfalls, and we could see the Columbia river basin. Do continue on to the saddle as it gives a sense of the overall landscape.
