Last Saturday, I went hiking with a few friends at Eagle Creek which on the Gorge a little past Multnomah Falls(exit 41 off I-84 to be exact). It is an amazing hike with tons of beautiful views and awesome waterfalls. Part of the trail was blasted out of cliff sides back in the 1910s I believe. It makes for a fun but slightly dangerous walk at certain points.(There are steel cables that serve as hand-rails who need the security) Wanted to share a few of the pics my friend Gabe took. They are all on Facebook but here is a cross-section.
Metlako Falls
View from the top of Upper Punchbowl Falls. You'll see the view from the bottom down farther. Me and Gabe plan to jump it next time! 60+ ft!
Found this little guy slowly making his way along the trail too.
It's crazy how pictures can't even put the height and distance into perspective very well.

Skoonichuk Falls
Lower Punchbowl Falls.
Very popular cliff jumping spot. It's about a 20 ft jump from here and you can rock climb back up the face. There is also a 35-40 ft jump from the other side that you can't see in this pic. Me and Gabe jumped from both sides. It's a rush and it's so beautiful and the water is so pure and clear.
The iconic Upper Punchbowl Falls
Hope you enjoyed looking at some of these pictures. Eagle Creek trail is a hike I would recommend to everyone. It's a fun hike and the beauty can't be properly captured with photos.
