One of the local’s favorites, this seemingly never ending trail crosses rivers, and (slowly) ascends to heights above the creek that will give you vertigo. At the six mile mark is the unbelievable Tunnel Falls. Save some energy for the return hike, en route to food and bev at the town of Cascade Locks, where you can rest those sore feet

The Eagle Creek Trail is one of Oregon's most spectacular paths, passing half a dozen major waterfalls. The trail is also an engineering marvel. To maintain an easy grade through this rugged canyon, the builders blasted ledges out of sheer cliffs, bridged a colossal gorge and even chipped a tunnel through solid rock behind 120-foot Tunnel Falls. Difficulty: A moderate 4.2-mile hike to Punchbowl Falls (with 400 feet of elevation gain), or a difficult, 12-mile hike to Tunnel Falls (with 1,200 feet of elevation gain). Season: Open all year. Of note: Hikers are encouraged to exercise caution as they return to the Eagle Creek Trail and other areas damaged by the wildfire, the forest service said. Already prone to landslides during the rainy season, the many canyons and cliffside areas can be especially dangerous after strong rains or windstorms. The Eagle Creek Fire was started on Sept. 2, 2017 by a firecracker on the Eagle Creek Trail. The fire burned more than 48,000 acres in the Columbia River Gorge, torching forests around popular hiking areas on the Oregon side of the river. Hundreds of people were evacuated, and 176 hikers required rescue as the blaze quickly spread. Getting There: Take Interstate 84 to Eagle Creek exit 41, turn right and keep right along the creek for a mile to the road's end. Because the Eagle Creek exit is only accessible from the west, travelers from Hood River have to take Bonneville Dam exit 40 and double back on the freeway for a mile. The trail is so popular the parking lot fills by 10 am on sunny weekends, leaving latecomers to park half a mile away. Leave nothing of value in your car as break-ins are a problem at the trailhead.
