In Portland this weekend visiting family and decided to take a side trip on the way home up Eagle Creek in the Columbia River Gorge. The grade is relatively easy and you can make your turnaround destination just about anywhere. I ended up going to Twister Falls which is 6.5 miles in (13 miles R/T). The weekend rains had all the creeks pretty full which made for great waterfall viewing. The bridge at Tish Creek is out but you can cross the creek if your careful. Started hiking at 8:45am with just a few cars in the parking lot and by the time I got back to my car at 2:45 the parking lots were full. Very popular hike but well worth it for viewing waterfalls.
