Eagle Creek to Twister Falls 11 April 2014

We started out on a brisk morning that we knew would get sunnier and warmer as the day went on and we were not disappointed.  It actually grew quite warm especially after hiking 13-15 miles (depending who you referenced).  The water was flowing and the flowers were blooming on this classic Oregon Gorge hike.
Twister Falls was a treat - had not been that far before.  Perfect for lunch and only a little past Tunnel Falls.
