Eagle Creek - Tanner Butte
Yesterday Scott, Meredith, Jennie, Sam and I headed up Eagle Creek trail, a route I never tire of. I enjoy it most on a coolish, misty day, especially when running the trail. After Tunnel Falls Jennie and Meredith turned to head back down while Scott, Sam and I ran on, going up Eagle-Tanner trail, to Tanner Butte trail in a 25-mile loop back to the start. We ran where runnable but walked steeper uphills and the many tight sections where the trail was almost completely overgrown. We ran into a group of three backpackers and no one else except nearer the trailheads. Scott and I have plans to do many more of these types of adventures, including circumnavigating Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Hood. For complete metrics on the route, visit MotionBased.com.
