 *'''Beacon Rock State Park''', about 35 miles East of Vancouver, is one of the Northwest's more enjoyable day trips.  After driving for less than an hour through the scenic Columbia Gorge, you arrive at the base, where it is advisable to use restroom facilities and prepare for a relatively short, but moderately vertical hike up the 1-mile trail to the top of this old volcanic core, the second-largest free-standing monolith in the world (after the Rock of Gibraltar). Spectacular views of the Gorge, the river, and various wildlife will be your reward.  The park also offers camping and more hiking trails, if you feel so inclined or you wish to avoid other hikers.
