eagle creek

date hiked: june 27, 2007
distance: 8 miles
highest elevation: 800 - 1200 feet
elevation gain: 640 - 1200 feet
time: 2 hours 54 minutes

i find it rather odd that there are stepping stones in place to help me cross a creek. rocks, i understand. pieces of timber, i understand. but my brain is having a difficult time wrapping itself around decorative stepping stones. shouldn’t there be a hanging wind chime above? gosh…i believe i’m sounding cynical. i really just found it odd. eagle creek is a great trail. lots of water, cliffs, waterfalls. it’s quite busy…so you’re never on your own. personally, i was getting a little frustrated by my recent failed adventures…where i just ended up lost. so i decided i’d hike someplace i already knew i could find.

more importantly…this was my first official hike for the summer. woohoo! monday was my last day of work until the end of august…so i can hike during the week and on the weekend. double woohoo!
