Beacon Rock is a unique experience to climb a monolith rock if you are afraid of heights I would recommend you don't take this trail but if you love Heights there's a number of ramps and bridges to get to the top and the view from the top is awesome

Beacon Rock trail has a great hike to the top. The trail makers worked hard to make this trail and it worth a special trip. The views from the top are great. the only draw back is the ten dollar entry fee (i'm spoiled by all the fee free attractions across the river in Oregon) i had a great time

This is an easily accessible hike in the Columbia Gorge. It's pretty much straight up the rock to the top so not very pet friendly. There are spectacular views up and down the gorge from the top and along the way to the top. This hike took my family about an hour to do (up and down).

Great hike up a rock to view the beautiful Columbia Gorge. This is close to Portland and a close place to get away off Hwy 14 in Washington, 35 miles from Vancouver. It is 1.8 miles round trip with switchbacks and rails on the side of a tall rock right along the Columbia River. If heights make you nervous, this is not the "trail" to hike. The trail is on the outside of this rock and is 848 ft. high. You will need a parking pass to park (http://discoverpass.wa.gov/).

This is approximately a mile of climbing for about 800 feet of elevation gain. You will climb stairs most of the way. The stairs are an engineering feat accomplished years ago into the side of this rock. The views from the top are great on a clear day. Check out the history of this State Park while you are there, it is quite interesting.

We went here on a weekend. It was easy to find and family friendly. The climb is moderate and made safe with all the railing. Take the time to stop along the way up to see all of the amazing views.

The 1 mile hike to the top is a very cool hike, and not that difficult. Expected it to be steeper and more difficult, but at a nice slow and steady pace, you can make it up in about 40 minutes. (20 minutes to get down) Good family hike / dogs must be leashed!Enjoy the spectacular views while you are hiking up and down, because there's not much at the top. *Extra bonus: we saw a Pileated Woodpecker in a tree just as we started the hike up.

Hiked to the top takes between 30/45 min .. But once you reach the top , you have wonderful view of the Columbia gorge

Beacon Rock is an outcropping on the Columbia River, just east of Portland/Vancouver. It's a great hike - a couple miles or less total, the first thru forest, then up the rock - on a paved trail that switchbacks along the edge. Guardrails go the entire way, just in case you get vertigo w/ heights. Magnificent views of the river, valley, and the tops of the fir/hemlock forest below. We took a 5 year old up (holding very tightly to her hand), but it was the 11 and 12 year old boys we took who had the most fun. It's an adventure and an accomplishment they bragged about all week! Beautiful walk, around 2-3 hours round trip, and an iconic part of the Northwest.

This olivine basalt monolith (formation consisting of a single piece of rock) is the plug of an ancient volcano, and is one of the largest free-standing monoliths in the world. It looks from a distance very much like a monstrous snub-nosed bullet sticking out of the ground on the north bank of the Columbia River. If you are on a commercial tour of the Columbia River Gorge, then you can see it to your east from Vista House, and it will be a prominent sight directly across the river about 25 miles farther down the road. If your tour driver does not stop to let you get a picture (and I don't know that it would be safe on that stretch of highway), at least have your camera out to get a quick grab shot through your bus window.
