Beacon Rock Trek

Beacon Rock is the second largest monolith true monolith in the world, believed to be the remaining plug or core of an ancient mountain.
Some people may not call this a hike, but it is a trail. It takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour to hike or walk from the bottom of Beacon Rock to the top. The trail is well-made, constructed back in 1915. There are about 47 switch-backs with all the handrails needed for a safe visit.
The hike to the top is about 1.8 miles round trip, or 9/10 of a mile each way. There are spectacular views of Oregon, Washington and the Columbia River Gorge, most of the way to the top.

Cape Lookout Trek

Cape Lookout, Oregon. Just west of Tillamook.
This trail breaks off of the west trail at the 1.5 mile mark and heads south.
Without a machete you're out of luck. The brushed swallowed me up as I made my way through. The view is vertigo inducing at about 600ft, the cliff is shear. There was a nice grass clearing to sit on with wildflowers, I could have spent the day there but, alas, I had to move on.
