Southwest Washington > Columbia River Gorge - OR
Rainbow over twister

Eaglee Creek Columbia River Gorge

Very Nice rip, very nice trail condition. Not much to mention as far as trails go, as far as obstacles, you always expect them, at least I do. I really enjoyed everything about it, the miles flew by as if they were yards (IMHO). From my notes, I believe I was in 7-1/2 mile camp. We slung the hammocks up. We both were showing off our boutique hammock wares. Hahahahaha. Very nice trip we'd like to do again. If you haven't been there you need to go, expect company. We went on a Monday Tuesday overnight when it was Super rainy to avoid any mass of folks. We still found some. We seen a bunch of too cool for school "backpackers" coming out of Wy'East camp, which they trashed with thier feces. Just a mess of a "latrine" right next to a spring fed creek. (LOOK OUT). I didn't want to bury their waste, so, I humbly went on, x-Ing off that creek to rehydrate myself with. It was a large group. There were plenty of messes. Right on the surface complete with paper, covered with twigs! Oh boy! 

Well, sorry for that but I believe it is important to talk about, hopefully it will lead to cleaner campsites, and really (cleaner water). My job focuses on water Quaility so, that's why, moving on: here is a couple photos and my first attempt at posting a trip report. If you want to see part two and three, just figure out how to go to my YouTube Chanel. I will try to post it but I am new to this site and it is my first post, thanks! Eagle Creek is a GEM, I says.
