Hike to Hamilton Mountain, May 31st

Another great hike that I’ve done before. Hamilton Mountain is a big boulder ridge on the Washington side right behind Beacon Rock State Park. I organized this hike not only because it has a lot to offer but also to train a bit for the Adams adventure in July. The forecast did call for clouds but there was no mention of rain. Just when we were starting our hike, we got a bit of a drizzle that disappeared shortly after. Rodney falls looked really nice with all the water coming down from the mountain and the falls between the rocks were just as amazing. Weather got a bit better when we got to the ridge where we went out to take some pictures. Although this is not the highest point of this hike, certainly is the one with the better views. We then continued our ascend thru countless switchbacks until we got to the summit. We made a stop at the summit for lunch and to enjoy the views. After that, we headed back doing the longer, easier trail. Wonderful day.
