Some friends and I went hiking along the Oregon-Washington border this week to a place called Beacon Rock. The rock is nearly 850 feet tall and has 52 switchbacks scaling its sides to reach the top. Lewis and Clark first saw this monument on their travels and originally named it Beaton Rock. The rock is the remnants of an old volcano that erupted nearly 52,000 years ago and has been worn down by ice age floods. I believe that’s pretty historical. Upon making it to the top you really appreciate the beauty of nature!
