DIRECTIONS TO THE TRAINING SITE:

For individuals coming from North or South of Vancouver WEST of Beacon Rock

From I-5 and/or I-205 (north or south) take the Hwy 14 exit and head towards Camas/Washougal.  Continue on this road for about 35 miles to Beacon Rock.  You will pass a small community named SKAMANIA when you near Beacon Rock, then begin going up a hill (Beacon Rock will stand prominently in front of you).  The road will curve to the left SLOW DOWN .... you will be exiting Hwy 14 soon.  When you see the Ranger Station (on the left but appearing in front of you), take the road on the immediate left (west) of the Ranger Station.  This will be Kueffler Road, follow it for about 1.3 miles - the campground will be on the left (west).  CCSAR will have posted signs, watch for them.

For our friends coming from EAST of Beacon Rock

When heading towards Beacon Rock (on Hwy 14), the Ranger Station will be on the North side of the road at the base of Beacon Rock.  Turn North (or right) onto Kueffler Road just past the station.  Follow this road for about 1.3 miles and watch for the signs to the campground.
