10 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •

Late start on a surprisingly not rainy day. We were aiming for Tunnel Falls or beyond but were completely stymied by a roaring "creek" crossing the trail right before the Eagle-Benson junction. We decided not to go for a swim...

Lots of water everywhere, Punchbowl and Metlako were roaring, tons of seasonal falls - Eagle Creek was as high as I've ever seen.

Went past EC yesterday on the way to Catherine Creek, and at the highway it was higher than I have ever seen it as well. I thought, "Man, it would be cool to hike THAT today". Glad you took advantage of the high water. Coincidentally, I drank a Ninkasi Oatis after my hike yesterday too!
