| East on I-84 to Exit 44 Cascade Locks, North to Washington Turn West on S-14 for 7 miles to Beacon Rock State Park, North to parking area |

This shelter and a bathroom were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps back in the day. Today, it costs TEN DOLLARS TO PARK HERE FOR ONE DAY!!! I know the State of Washington needs money, but really!
The trail climbs up quickly to a clearcut under the powerlines which lead to Bonneville dam.
 |
| Most of the lower trail goes through shady forest |
 |
| An overlook gives you a peak at Hardy Falls through poison oak |
 |
| But the highlight comes up - Pool of the Winds formed by Rodney Falls |
Another view of the falls, yes that is a log resting vertically at the back of the waterfall. To see this you walk out on a rock ledge protected by a fence.
The outflow is rather low in September, in the spring it is much greater and there are many wildflowers along the trail.

| Arrow is not afraid of heights |

| The view downstream from the falls |
 |
| Arrow creates "Wallow of the Winds" to cool off |
Mr. Thornsby finds a magical spot.
