[pct-l] Eagle Creek Trail

[Montedodge@aol.com (Montedodge@aol.com)]

 This is my first Backpack trip each year!! Great to get a non-hiker hooked. 
This should not not be any trouble for your mom Terri. Mile for mile some of 
the best scenery along the trail plus one of the first to be snow free this 
far North. Please try to hike it on 2 week days and not the week end! Be sure 
to stop at the Multinoma Falls ( a few miles west on highway 84) for your 3 
dollar parking permit and a great pre-hike omlette at the lodge. Hike past 
tunnel falls at 6.5 miles up trail and continue to the Tanner  Creek Trail 
Junction at about 8 miles into the hike. Hang a right and go about 1.5 miles 
on the little used trail to a great and little used site right along the 
creek. ( Lots of firewood for flood 4 years ago with tons of twisted cedar) 
Great for making fire in early april hike. Take a rookie hiking and bring 
marshmellows for smores with junior mints which are put in marshmellow before 
toasting. Then put between two gramcrackers and use Reeses peanutbutter cups 
instead of hersey bars. Terri, Your mom will be in heaven.
