Welcome to my first entry to #bouldersunday. Behold, Beacon Rock!

Beacon Rock is an 848-foot tall basalt volcanic plug in Washington on the north bank of the Columbia River. In other words, this rock used to be a plug inside the vent of a volcano!

Beacon Rock is one of the largest free-standing monoliths in the world. A monolith is a geological feature consisting of a single massive stone or rock and the big ones like this are often exposed by erosion of the surrounding rock.
The cool thing about this boulder is there is a hiking trail to the top! It is almost a mile long and gains 600+ verticle feet on the way.

I know, steemit does not rock though.

Didn't you climb that beast? It reminds me of Devils Tower and Ayers Rock down under.

I've done it four times now man but don't worry, we can still go when you visit. ;)

He said “Boulder”.....🤣😂

Over the shoulder boulder holder.

Still waiting for the joke post.....😡

Thanks @shasta, my pleasure. Now the only problem is how to follow this up next Sunday...

Attractive for me to visit it!

You should @truelovemom, it is worth the trip.

Now that's a boulder! Pretty impressive for a first Boulder post!

That is some boulder, @summertooth! Did you do that 1 mile walk up?

Very cool boulder and that pathway, yikes!

Indeed. The path is amazing and took over 2 years to carve out of that rock in 1915. You can do it @kansuze! ;)

I would too, you know. lol
