14.9 miles of hiking • 1750' elevation gain •
I had a great day hiking the Eagle Creek trail to 7.5 mile camp. It was a Friday, and the crowds were surprisingly thin. I often overlook this trail (except during cold winter days) because of its popularity. But, wow, it is such a great trail. There were a ton of flowers out everywhere! And, since the leaves and brush have not yet grown out, I enjoyed seeing all of the waterfalls littering the creek and the creeks feeding into it. The only bummer for the day was that I brought a tick home with me. Yuck. Luckily, it had not yet bitten me.
