Karl went hiking November 29, 2013 17 miles 1,750 feet gained

Eagle Creek

1

An old standby. Found myself with a free morning, so I took a run up Eagle Creek to about 7.5 mile camp. Was virtually alone on the way in, and the mobs had descended by the time I was back down low again. Lots of ice along, and often on, the trail. Nice day!

Full trip report now up on PortlandHikers.

Great job Karl! Always love your trip reports and pictures! Seventeen miles in a morning is an awesome feat, and I don't know how you kick butt on distance and keep up the pace (and on ice with cliffs), but I'd like to know the secret. :) Take care, and I hope to see you at the Meet-n-Deet! Mike

Well, to be fair, I didn't start until 9am, so getting back at 3pm is like a morning hike had I hit the trailhead at 6. Was still home well before dinner, and that was the goal! Thanks Mike, see ya Saturday!
