Hamilton Mountain
Hardy Falls from trail
Rodney Falls
Hamilton Mt. from trail
Ok, so Hamilton Mountain is on the Washington side of the Gorge but it is a good hike anyway. The mountain sits just to the north Beacon Rock near the Bonneville Dam. Beacon Rock is a 848 ft monolith which has a trail to the top. Hamilton Mount is 2450 ft at the summit and there are two paths to the top. The trails are labelled "difficult" and "more difficult." There are also a couple of waterfalls on the lower half of the hike. The more difficult route is shorter but much steeper and the whole hike gains about 2100 ft in elevation.
