20160507 Beacon Rock State Park

Mike and I took a day trip down to the Columbia Gorge to visit an iris farm – Mt. Pleasant Iris. The flowers were lovely, but we found ourselves with time on our hands and a bit of wanderlust.  We headed further up the river to Beacon Rock State Park, and after visiting the river’s shore for a few moments, we ventured up to Hardy Falls, and the Pool of the Winds. It was a hot day, and the sojourn in the creek was perfectly refreshing. We stopped back by the boat launch for some shots of Beacon Rock on our way out.
