Activity Notes
Calling all rain and waterfall lovers!
It's supposed to rain 6 inches in Cascade Locks in the week leading up to the 28th, which means it's the perfect time to see some roaring waterfalls! Eagle Creek is my favorite hike in the Gorge, and we will go all the way up to the last falls, which is Sevenmile Falls. On the way we will pass the Weeping Wall, Metlako Falls, Punchbowl Falls, Loowit Falls, the High Bridge, Skoonichuk Falls, Wy'East Falls, Grand Union Falls, Tunnel Falls, Crossover Falls, and countless side falls!
This hike will include some cliffs so if heights aren't your thing, then this hike may not be for you. And it will rain, we will get wet. There will also be at least one substantial creek crossing. But the reward is well worth it!
We will most likely be looking for a second driver. Rock Haven is a short walk from TriMet Bus 20, 21, and 25.
14 miles, 1200' gain
***Minorities tend to experience higher amounts of stress. There's also lots of evidence that spending time outside in nature and socially engaging outside of work can reduce stress levels. Therefore, I highly encourage and welcome race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, economic, religious, and all other minorities to join me on my hikes!
***This hike will take place on historically Chinook lands. If you would like to help this tribe be federally recognized, they have an active petition!
