Beacon Rock

In the Columbia River Gorge, Beacon Rock towers some 848 feet high and was sculpted in part by the Ice Age floods. The core of an ancient volcano, Beacon Rock helped early travelers mark the distance to the Pacific Ocean 150 miles away. Lewis and Clark camped at its base in 1805 and named it.
