Eagle Creek (Cancelled)

Join me on an epic hike up Eagle Creek to Tunnel Falls and just beyond to Twister Falls. The Eagle Creek canyon burned in 2017. Last year I hiked up the creek and was surprised at how much was still green and alive. It was bad, but not as bad I had envisioned.

I plan to do this as a one day trip. You are encouraged to find accommodations in Cascade Locks or maybe even around Portland if all that windshield time in one day doesn't appeal to you. It's a 3 hour drive from Silverdale to the trailhead.

A NW Forest Pass, Interagency Annual Pass (America the Beautiful) is required or you can pay $5 at the trailhead to park.

The hike is 12-13 miles round trip and around 1600 feet of elevation gain.

Directions:

From Portland, OR: Travel east on Interstate 84 to exit #41 which is just past the interstate tunnel. Get in the right lane before entering the tunnel. Take a right at the end of the off ramp and follow the signs to the Eagle Creek Trailhead/Picnic Area.

From Cascade Locks, OR: Travel west on Interstate 84 approximately 3 miles to Bonneville Dam exit #40 (there is no westbound exit #41). Turn left at the stop sign, go under the interstate and then turn left onto the eastbound freeway entrance. Travel east approximately 1 mile on Interstate 84 to exit #41 which is just past the Interstate tunnel. Get in the right lane before entering the tunnel. Take a right at the end of the off ramp and follow the signs to the Eagle Creek Trailhead/Picnic Area.
