(49 miles) Vancouver to Home Valley Park. We’ll head out via local roads through Camas and Washougal, along forested Washougal River Road, drop down to Hwy 14, then pass Beacon Rock, Columbia River Gorge Interpretive Center, Bonneville Dam, and the town of Stevenson, taking in the views of scenic Gorge peaks before camping at a small county park just past the turnoff to Carson. Supplies and restaurants are available in Stevenson. Because of traffic concerns, we suggest leaving between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. rather than between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. as in previous years.
