Beacon Rock

Then we arrived at our first destination of the day:

Beacon Rock

Thar she is!

Even the restrooms were woodsy

Once upon a time, there were tons of floods

Interesting info- the rock is the core of a volcano!

Lewis and Clark kind of discovered it. Kind of.

So much geological info

Oh yes, the trail. We are going to hike that giant hunk of Earth.

RightHand plots the route. There's really only one option, though. :-p

Truly.

Oh, perfect. Do you see how they used the word "caution" twice in one sign? :-p

Speaking of which...please don't fall on me, please don't fall one me, good rock...

The man who built the trail/path/stairway to heaven

So it begins...

Yum! Carrot on the stick for me! ;)

Neat tree along the way

Beautiful forest, as always

Love the mossy shtuff

Gosh nature is beautiful

A little rest before we are committed ;)

A view of the goal

Maybe we'll just climb as the crow flies...or not.

Pretty view to keep you motivated

Now it really begins

Smiling, but thinking, what have we gotten ourselves into??
