Columbia Gorge trail damage

The hiking trails in the Columbia Gorge, including my favorites, are really taking a beating this year.  It is mostly downed trees blocking the trails.  The Eagle Creek trail is one of the more resilient trails in the gorge but it's lost a bridge at about the 2 mile mark.

I was hoping we would get out there hiking some time soon but it's not looking good... besides, they say there is a big ice storm coming to the gorge this week.
