Eagle Creek Hike, Columbia Gorge aka KBBK to the rescue!

This weekend, Brent took me on a hike called Eagle Creek, on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge. We visited Punch Bowl Falls (pictured above), the spot where Brent's Dad proposed to his Mom. It was serene and lovely.

On the lower part of Punch Bowl Falls, kids jumped off the cliff into the deep chilly water.

After about 3.5 miles of hiking, we came upon a group of people stopped at a bridge. A teenage girl, Julianna, had twisted her ankle and couldn't walk. One man had already carried her about 1.5 miles down from the point where she had injured herself. Brent and I knew we had to help, so we joined up with the group, and took turns carrying Julianna back down to the trail head.




Some parts of the trail were on a rocky, narrow cliff ledge with a 100 meter drop. Luckily, we were able to navigate her safely back to the trail head.

At the bottom, Brent and I were rewarded with homemade chocolate chip cookies. They were delicious! All in all, this was an adventure that made the hike that much more memorable. We were glad to be able to help!
