Northern Oregon forests were thick and lush. After a fire detour I climbed up and around amazing Mt. Hood. Hikers and tourists alike filled the restaurant at timberline lodge for the notorious breakfast buffet. Then we hung out at the amazing lodge into the afternoon.
Descending to the Columbia river gorge and the border with Oregon and Washington hikers take an alternate route down Eagle creek a trail spattered with amazing waterfalls. The most stunning is Tunnel Falls where the trail, blasted into a cliff actually traverses behind the falls!
I've been traveling with the Love Train which includes most of the hikers that I spent time in Eugene with. But as I was filling my plate at Timberline Lodge a smiling hiker shouted my name and ran up for a hug. It was Spud! who I hadn't seen since Etna, CA. Oasis and Honey Bear were close behind and the crew I hiked Northern Ca with were reunited.
Now I'm in Cascade Locks preparing to enter Washington and the final 500 miles of the trail. Washington sounds rugged and insanely beautiful. My resupply stops are small outposts so I may not be able to update my blog much. Into Washington I go.
