It's good to see that the catwalks have been restored on this iconic rock. When I led many hikes in the Gorge more than two decades ago, we would do Hamilton Mountain first and then onto Beacon Rock. Your video brought back many fond memories of when I was a young buck in my fifties. Keep the hikes coming our way.
Thank you. You should also hike from Christine falls up past Comet Falls to the top of VanTrump Park. Great Trail, just Beautiful up there. We have been up there many times. 6 times one year.
Too bad about the fog. There are some beautiful views up there. I first hiked this one with my family in 1960 - including my younger sister, who was 2 at the time.
Welcome to my neck of the woods!! Been up it a couple of times in the past couple of years (both time without fog). I would also suggest the hike up Hamilton Mountain, also at Beacon Rock State Park. Thanks for sharing, Joe!! :)
Hi! Joe, I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering when you would upload new video on youtube. Again, thanks for sharing and have a good week.

Thanks for the tip!
We climbed Beacon Rock yesterday, partly sunny and not a puff of wind. It was a free parking day so it was nice to get out and enjoy the day.
Dave thanks for watching the video!

Thanks David! I’ll definitely go back some day for the views!
Great video. Will definitely look for this trail when I am in the area.
Thanks Kristin!
Thanks for the info on this hike - looks like it’s pretty steep, but worth the views on a clear day :) will check it out when in the area!!
Thanks for watching it!

Thanks GypsyDog! Here’s my hike video of Hamilton.. 2014-05-02 Hamilton Mtn + Rodney Falls Loop ua-cam.com/video/-cBM13KFQpI/v-deo.html
That looks like quite a physical climb.
A great workout indeed!
Bummer about not getting the views from the summit, a rich history associated with this rock, kinda cool. Happy veteran's day Joe 👊🏻🇺🇲
Thanks Donny!
I've only hiked it in the summer. Great views then but you had the fall colors. I don't like heights but I'm OK with this hike.
Ethel thanks for watching it!
Nice shots!!!
Thanks!
Outstanding!!
Thanks dear Cousin!
Beautiful hike, great production! How long did the climb take you out&back?
Thanks Pablo! I spent about 6hr on Beacon Rock enjoying the route, setting up my tripod many times for video clips and just enjoying the summit.
We were up there on a beautiful clear day many years ago.
I hope to hike it again when clear, for the views!
Kudos Joe! Great video! I think my fear of heights would prevent me from that one! :)
Thanks Raini!

Thanks Lee!
Is beacon rock open ?
You’ll need to contact the park office for that info
Dogs allowed?
Yes, saw 3 that day
@@HikingInMemoryOfHeidi Awesome, thanks!
Yes, Jesse. I live nearby and drive by there often, and often see hikers with dogs. It is in a state park.
