Beacon Rock State Park - Hamilton Mountain — Thursday, Jul. 19, 2012

Southwest Washington > Columbia River Gorge - WA

Early morning hike to summit from parking lot across from beacon rock. Flush toilets,drinking fountain,nice day camp kid area. Passing pool of the winds. Ok for kids to Rodney falls. Constant ascent up w some eroded areas and overgrowth nearer the top. Someone has stolen the summit sign. So direction gets unclear. Spectacular views from top. Great weather and cool enough despite gorge temps being 90.
