(Please leave the next day-- Friday, May 27--open in case the hike is postponed due to significant rain.)
Eagle Creek is one of the most well-known and well-used trails in the Columbia Gorge—and for good reason. With spawning salmon in the fall, breathtaking waterfalls year round, and wildflowers aplenty in the spring, the Eagle Creek trail is an Oregon gem.
Join Oregon Wild's Wildlands Interpreter Wendell Wood for a slow-paced hike to Punchbowl Falls along Eagle Creek. While we hike, you’ll learn forest ecology and wildflower identification with your provided plant species list. Space is limited to 15 participants.
RSVP for the hike. (Oregon Wild members ($6) and non-members ($9). All proceeds from hikes support Oregon Wild’s campaigns to protect wildlands across the state.)
