ECO-HIKE: Eagle Creek & PunchBowl Falls

Throughout the summer, one of our naturalists leads a walk or hike in a powerful place, a place so beautiful and alive that we are tricked into the present moment and our deep connection to native plants, water, earth, one another, and our selves.  Our Eco-Hikes are about more than hiking “to” an objective or even learning about the names & uses of native plants.  We strive to be so fully in a place that we become part of its aliveness, part of its enormous beauty and living stillness.  There are so many extraordinary places near Portland - and even within the city - that call to us to rejoin the sacred flow of life!

Our hikes are usually easy, our pace is generally slow, and we focus on connecting with ourselves, one another, and the eco-system we’re exploring.

EAGLE CREEK & PUNCH BOWL FALLS
Sun., 9/6/09:  10am-4pm

This easy hike has very little elevation change but is about 4 miles to an amazing set of waterfalls and wonderful swimming holes.  The famous Punch Bowl Falls is a deep pool great for diving and getting cool on a hot day.  There is a much larger, shallower pool for swimming or wading.  Further down the trail there are spectacular canyons, old growth, a falls you can walk behind.  We’ll carpool out to the trail head at 10am (meet promptly at Manifest Studio, near NE 22nd & Alberta), and come back into the city about 4 pm (a car may come back earlier if a group wants to get back into town by 2 or 3 pm).
