Beacon Rock State Park is a park in the U.S. state of Washington, in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, on State Route 14 about 35 miles (56 km) east of Vancouver, Washington.The park takes its name from Beacon Rock, an 848 foot rock next to the Columbia River. The park also includes 4482 acres (18.14 km²) of forested uplands across the highway from Beacon Rock, with a 1.25 mile (2 km) nature trail, 9.5 miles (15 km) of hiking trails, and 13 miles (21 km) of fire road. Hardy Falls and Rodney Falls are scenic highlights along the trail to the summit of 2445ft Hamilton Mountain, which has a spectacular view of Bonneville Dam and points east. A new trail has been constructed to Little Beacon Rock. On October 311805, the Lewis and Clark Expedition arrived here and first measured tides on the river, indicating their long journey was nearing an end.[1]
