Hiking on Eagle Creek

We went hiking at Eagle Creek for our dream date today.  It was a great day to be out.  Of course, at Eagle Creek you are never alone but it was pretty quiet today until on the way back.  Then we met a lot of people. I guess that means that we got an early start (for Portland); we started hiking at eleven.  It was still overcast in Portland and part way out the gorge but sunny by the time we got to Eagle Creek

Here are my car photos... I love how the trees are yellow green with red undertones.

And here are the photos from our hike.

Larkspur already

I talked to a young woman who plans to hike the whole Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada.  She is starting soon.  Makes my feet hurt to even think about it.
