Eagle Creek Trail to Tunnel and Twister Falls

Activity Notes

Eagle Creek is one of Oregon's most extraordinary hikes, and hiking this trail is truly a joyous occasion. Join the Mazamas for a long day trekking deep into this beautiful canyon. We'll get an early start to beat the crowds and hike all the way to the trio of waterfalls deep in the canyon: Tunnel Falls, Twister Falls, and Sevenmile Falls. Plan on lunch at Sevenmile Falls or even 7 and 1/2 mile camp. We'll hike back this wonderful trail, passing a dozen waterfalls along the way. 

Distance: 14.2 miles out and back Elevation Gain: 1,200 feet Drivetime and Distance from Portland: 32 miles / 35 minutes each way Meet at the MMC at 7:30 AM. No dogs. Please prepare for rainy, wet conditions and bring a change of clothes for after the hike. This hike will be postponed or cancelled if the weather is threatening (either ice, snow, or heavy rain) and an alternate hike destination will be suggested.

Note 1: Wy'East Creek often runs very high this time of year. We may be forced to turn around if it appears unsafe to cross - and while we would miss Tunnel and Twister Falls, there is so much else to see! 

Note 2: This hike is *NOT* recommended for hikers with a fear of heights as the trail passes by huge cliffs on the side of the trail for much of the hike.
