Take a hike, enjoy nature
For the sometimes hiker living in
the Pacific Northwest there are
plenty of enjoyable places to go. And
especially so for our local residents.
One of those ‘enjoyable places' is
the Eagle Creek trail located in the
Columbia Gorge.
The trail is well kept, easy to hike
and never far from the cool waters of
the stream.
The scenery allows the hiker much
to see including several waterfalls.
There are many fine spots for fishing,
camping or for picnics.
> ou can either take a short hike of
several hours, one day or longer to
enjoy the beauties of this nature hike.
The temperature of the water at
this time of year is still fairly cold, but
many brave it for a dip
Hiking and enjoying the out-of-
doors is a favorite activity for many,
and the Eagle Creek trail is one of the
area’s more popular spots to do this.
