Eagle Creek

A popular location for photographers (photographing waterfall out frame)


A sliver of light falls on the forest floor and short section of trail


Lichen and moss completely engulf tree trunks just off trail


Forest floor fern


Md-face trail with anchored cable hand-line


Small redwood trees line the trails egde


Light plays on the lichen covered forest


Zoom-blur on the return leg of the out and back hike



Less than an hour outside of Portland, OR a two mile stretch of trail reveals an almost mythical realm of moss covered trees, waterfalls, towering redwoods, and cliffs traversed by narrow mid-face sections of trail. Previously I had hiked this same trail during my last visit to to the Pacific Northwest, however during this trip I was able to hike further and with far better light.

Tech: (this was a casual hike with my friend and thus my primary purpose was not photography, hence minimal gear) Nikon D700, f3.5-5.6  28-120mm
