The Indian Point loop travels through forested trails in the eastern Gorge to a fantastic viewpoint. The loop will be described counter clockwise, requiring a steeper climb up Nick Eaton Ridge in order to descend more gently on the Gorton Creek Trail. This area was reopened in 2018 after the major Eagle Creek fire of 2017. Expect to see remnants of the fire's work in the area.

Activity Notes

We will head out on steeper Nick Eaton Trail and return on more gradual Gorton Creek trail.  If the weather cooperates, we will head out to Indian Point for lunch.  Considering the time of year though, be prepared for adverse weather conditions.
