The eroded volcanic plug William Clark named Beacon Rock is now the main attraction at Washington's Beacon Rock State Park. A guardrailed and mostly-paved trail of 50+ switchbacks will take the intrepid hiker to the top of this approximately 848-foot basalt landmark for some awesome views of the surrounding land along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, including the Columbia River.
