10 miles of hiking • 1750' elevation gain •
Great day on the PCT, celebrating the birthday of a friend. Good sized group had a very late start, leaving the Bridge of the Gods trailhead just before noon. Ran into several groups of friends through the day, as many seemed to have also felt this was the perfect hike for the conditions (both driving and hiking!). The trail was pretty well packed, at least to our first destination - Dry Creek Falls. From there eastward, the snow was softer, but still easy enough to travel on as we headed to the Herman Creek Pinnacles and made Crest Falls our turn-around point. Just a perfect day in the Gorge, really!
