Nature is the art of God.

Beacon Rock State Park near Skamania WA

BEACON ROCK MONOLITH, Skamania, WA

Beacon Rock's native name is "Che-Che-op-tin," which translates to "the navel of the world." Native Americans weren't far off in their comparison, since the 848-foot basalt column once formed the core, or belly, of an ancient volcano. Lewis & Clark originally called it 'Beaten Rock' due to its craggy appearance.

Music...gives wings to the mind, a soul to the universe, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness,a life to everything. ~Plato

And this our life, exempt from public haunt,Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything.
