When I lived in Alaska a co-worker of mine told me about hiking this trail when he was a kid. Ever since he described this wonderful place, I've had it on my MUST DO list. This weekend the fates were in my favor, since a dear friend of mine had to cancel her trip last minute up north. So I headed south for one last outdoor adventure before she moved out of state. The trail is very popular, and I can see why. The trail has an easy grade, is well maintained and has great campsites. Oh and don't forget the waterfalls! We never made it to Tunnel Falls but did see Metlako, Loowit, High Bridge, Wy'east, and of course the infamous Punch Bowl Falls (Some say it is the most photographed waterfall in the entire Pacific Northwest). If you plan spending a weekend checking out waterfalls on the Columbia Gorge, make sure this hike is on your list! ^_^
