Beacon Rock

Beacon Rock from the base

Yesterday was a beautiful day! You would never know it's Februrary here in the Northwest, it was sunny and 62.  We put this good weather to use with a nice hike. Casey, Matt's brother, and our little family hiked up Beacon Rock just off the Columbia river.  The rock was discovered by Lewis and Clark and there is a man made trail up to the top. The summit is 850 feet above sea level and the trail leading there is a mile each way. Kaine loved the switch backs and Lilia loved the wind in her face. A good time was had by all.

So many switch backs....

My favorites.

57 switch backs to be exact!
