  • 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.<br />

  • Steamboat Rock, which rises 525 feet in the flood chasm called the Grand Coulee, was once surrounded by the Ice Age Columbia River that ran here. The land is now Steamboat Rock State Park, where hikers can climb to the top and see the former flood and river course. The rock is bounded on three sides by Banks Lake, used to store irrigation water. (Steve Ringman / The Seattle Times)
