Gifford in 1908, this dramatic postcard captures Castle Rock soaring eight hundred forty-eight feet above the Columbia River on the Washington shore. Now known as Beacon Rock, this volcanic monolith ranks among the tallest freestanding rock formations in North America, alongside El Capitan and Devils Tower.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Cascade Indians called this ancient landmark Che-che-op-tin, meaning \"the navel of the world.\" Lewis and Clark named it Beacon Rock on October 31, 1805, noting it marked the farthest point where Pacific Ocean tides influenced the river — nearly one hundred forty miles inland from the sea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe exposed core of a volcano formed fifty-seven thousand years ago, this towering pillar was sculpted into its sheer vertical profile by the cataclysmic Missoula Floods at the close of the last ice age. In 1811, fur trader Alexander Ross renamed it Inoshoack Castle, and it was widely known as Castle Rock throughout the nineteenth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHenry Biddle purchased the formation in 1915, restoring its original name and constructing the mile-long summit trail that still exists today. Prized by collectors of Western exploration history and Pacific Northwest scenery, this reproduction from the Library of Congress preserves Gifford's view of one of the gorge's most iconic wonders.","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"8x12 Inch","offer_id":47769984139453,"sku":"ENPM0412_0812H","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x17 Inch","offer_id":47769984172221,"sku":"ENPM0412_1117H","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x24 Inch","offer_id":47769984204989,"sku":"ENPM0412_1624H","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 Inch","offer_id":47769984237757,"sku":"ENPM0412_2436H","price":97.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/08_C3_9712-1Main_465970ca-aa67-4737-9a64-52e323daa3cf.jpg?v=1785334084","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/products\/1908-castle-rock-print","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
