This trail has an elevation gain of about 1000 feet over eleven miles which makes it a long but relatively easy hike. However, sections are narrow with a breathtaking drop to the river below. This is not a place to bring small children or people queasy about heights. That said, the forest has some huge old growth trees and the plethora of waterfalls is hard to beat. This trail is a NW classic!

To the Trailhead: From Portland go east on I-84 to exit 41. Turn right to the Eagle Creek entrance. There are a few parking spaces right by the trailhead a half mile down the road. A NW Forest Pass or daily parking fee is required

To the letterbox: A half mile past Wy’east, you may sleep with Blue Grouse. About ten steps from the main trail toward this bucolic resting place you will have two slender evergreens on your left, a fallen brother at their feet. Where the fallen meets the upright, you will find a momento of the largest of the three maples commonly found in our PNW forests.

Before you set out, please read the terms of use and waiver of responsibility.

Please be sure to reseal baggies and boxes carefully so that they stay dry and re-hide boxes in their original location, completely hidden from view.
