Elowah/Cabin Creek/Warren Creek Falls

More takin' it easy, trying to get the knee back to normal.

Since the creek levels were supposed to be super high, I decided to visit some of the local waterfalls. Elowah and Multnomah were roaring. I also thought to go down to Starvation to see if Warren Creek falls was doing anything. Just a little sprinkling, but Cabin Creek and Hole in the Wall falls were moving quite nicely. I ran into Tom K. and Oregon Field Guide doing a story on Warren Falls—pretty cool!

It was pretty windy so the spray was insane! Super fun. New erosion from the storm, right before Elowah. Cabin Freek Falls Pine needles all over the trail from the storm. The trail smelled great! (By this point, my camera was fogging up pretty bad) Hole in the Wall Falls Warren Falls (Hey—it's trying.) I think I can, I think I can... I think this is why the Gorge is a mess right now. This, and the sheer volume of water. Things were really icy toward Hood River. Everyone was chaining up right after they passed the tractor trailer in a ditch.
