After a three hour drive, we arrived at the Eagle Creek trailhead just in time to eat our lunch before starting our hike. We hiked along the blasted out trail on the canyon wall, past the lower punchbowl and then the upper punchbowl. We kept going past an even prettier waterfall before arriving at the high bridge. We walked another half mile past more waterfalls until a turnaround point at creekside. There were lots of wildflowers in bloom and plenty of sunshine and plenty of people. This is a truly gorgeous hike, and I am happy to see it here on the WTA database, even if it is in nearby Oregon. More pictures at the link below:
