Eagle Creek Trail (Oregon) Section Hike w/ Zpacks
Eagle Creek Trail is one of the most popular hiking trails in Oregon. Its located about 45 minutes outside of Portland. In this video we hike 14 miles up to Wahtum Lake and back before heading over to Trail Days at Cascade Locks. On the way we hit one of the most incredible waterfalls in Oregon, Tunnel Falls.

Historic Columbia State Highway Trail from Cascade Locks to Wahclella Falls, OR 111614
This trail is paved and would normally be easy to walk, except for the fact this time it was covered in ice and snow. Most of it is the old Columbia River Highway (US 30), opened nearly 100 years ago and was the first major paved highway in the Pacific Northwest. Within 20 years it was outdated and was replaced with a more water level and straighter highway which eventually, for the most part, became part of today's Interstate 84. You can still drive it from Troutdale to Warrendale and Mosier to The Dalles, also through Cascade Locks and Hood River, but the rest was abandoned or even demolished to build I-84. Anyhow, parts have become a paved recreation trail. A few days before I shot this, there was a blizzard in this area. As I drove to Cascade Locks, I started to spin out on I-84 at Eagle Creek on the ice. So I did not drive anywhere during my stay at the Cascade Locks Best Western. So on this day, I walked from Cascade Locks to Wahclella Falls, a 10 mile snowy and icy walk. But was worth it! You are always within earshot of I-84 and the UP tracks. A nice added feature was seeing the salmon at the Eagle Creek hatchery. Wahclella Falls (1 mile by trail south of the Hwy. Trail) were awesome! And all this from right out the motel door!

Eagle Creek fire: About 140 hikers safe, to shelter overnight
A fire near or on the Eagle Creek trail at Cascade Locks sent a massive plume of smoke over the Columbia Gorge while emergency crews work to get hikers out of the area.
Eagle Creek Fire Still Threatens Cascade Locks, Growth Expected
Eagle Creek Fire Still Threatens Cascade Locks, Growth Expected
Cascade Locks remained eerily quiet Monday morning.
No gas. No food. Businesses along the main drag were either closed or forced to evacuate.
The perpetual scent of fire, the sun’s rays muted by smoke, and the occasional drizzle of ash greeted visitors to the town as the Eagle Creek Fire continued to burn about a mile away, threatening hundreds of homes and other structures.
As of Monday morning, the human-caused wildfire was about 3,200 acres, according to the Oregon Department of Forestry. That marks a small increase from what officials reported Sunday.
“The crews were on it all last night,” said Ashley Lertora, a spokeswoman with ODF. “We have a lot of structure protection in place.”
The smoke has mostly prevented fire officials from using air support, save for a few times Sunday afternoon when helicopters from the Washington Department of Natural Resource were able to dump water on the fire.
By midday Monday, planes could be seen dropping water again.
On Sunday, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown invoked the Conflagration Act, which allows the State Fire Marshal to dispatch equipment and firefighters from around the state.
“We do expect a little bit of growth today on the fire, because of the extreme fire danger weather that we have going on right now,” Lertora said.
The Eagle Creek Fire started around 4 p.m. Saturday, likely by someone misusing fireworks, Oregon State Police said Sunday. Authorities said they have identified a suspect.
The fire forced 153 hikers along the popular Eagle Creek hiking trail to spend Saturday night huddled together in the woods. All were safely evacuated Sunday.
While Interstate 84 remains open, Lertora said the Oregon Department of Transportation has a plan to close the highway, should the smoke get worse.
An Eerie Stillness In Town
As Monday morning wore on, the holiday weekend traffic in town picked up.
But as visitors stopped through, they found little open, on what is typically a busy weekend for this economically depressed Columbia River Gorge community.
Rudy, who declined to give his last name, runs Joe Fish. He’s with the Yakama Nation. They sell smoked fish, salmon and steelhead.
“This is normally the biggest day of the season for us, we tend to make the most money this weekend,” Rudy said. “Town’s deserted. It wouldn’t be right for us to sell. We don’t want to put people in danger.”
Understandably, the fire is causing anxiety for nearby residents. As of Monday morning, 283 homes and other structures and 15 businesses on the south side of Cascade Locks were under mandatory evacuation. The Bonneville Dam, which provides power to the City of Portland and surrounding areas, is under a Level 1, or “get ready,” evacuation notice.
Casey Bennett said he watched the flames Sunday night pour down the ridge of the gorge, like flowing lava.
“We already decided if we lose power, we’re loading our cars,” Bennett said. “If it hits the freeway, which is at the end of my street, we’re going to load up and leave. We’ve got a bunch of dogs and cats and ducks, so I’ll have to put ducks in the trunk of my car.”
Long distance hikers were also affected by the fire.
Ben Connelly, from Maine, and Jess Dustow, from Sydney, Australia, began hiking the Pacific Crest Trail four months ago, starting on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Connelly said the fires in Oregon have prevented them from hiking about half the trail in Oregon.
“I’d say we probably skipped somewhere in the 200-mile range because of fires,” Connelly said.
“Logistically, it’s been really tough,” Dustow adds. “Some of us didn’t budget for this either, having to hop off trails and stay in hotels.”

Multnomah Falls BEFORE THE FIRE | Waterfalls of Columbia River Gorge, Oregon
Multnomah Falls has been on my bucket list since I saw pictures of it years ago on Instagram. It is cooler in person than in pictures. We shot this video in May 2016, a year before the Eagle Creek fire devastated this area in September 2017. The trail to the top reopened in May 2019, and you can see what it looks like now in our AFTER THE FIRE video:
On this little road trip, we headed east through Washington past some very scenic overlooks. We crossed the Bridge of the Gods into Oregon and explain where the name came from. Then we checked out the waterfall area of the Columbia River Gorge, stopping at Horsetail Falls, Multnomah Falls, and Latourell Falls.
We didn't have the time to hike to Oneonta Falls. Next time!
