Trails
September 25, 2008
Check
portlandhikers.org for updated
trail conditions from other hikers. Trail condition reports
to 541-308-1700 and portlandhikers.com are appreciated.
The
gate to Larch Mountain at milepost 10 is open.
A
popular hiking loop is Rucket #405 to Eagle-Benson #434 in
the Mark O. Hatfield wilderness and back down Eagle Creek #440. However,
the Eagle-Benson trail #434 is overgrown and has many logs over it making
route-finding very difficult. This trail is not recommended.
Herman
Creek campground and trailhead gate is now open.
The
bridge on Oneonta trail #424 just above Triple Falls has
a two-person load limit. Notice: this bridge may be closed this fall so Oneonta
Trail will not be passable until a new bridge is in.
The bridge on the Gorge
#400 trail behind Wyeth campground is out. Creek may become
impassable in the spring. See
map of closure.
Fires are not allowed
within 200 feet of trails in the Scenic Area at any time of the year. Gas
stoves are allowed.

In the past, reservations for the
Eagle Creek Overlook group site have been made directly through the Hood River
office. The Overlook is now available for reservation only through www.recreation.gov.
(This was formerly ReserveUSA.com. If you go to ReserveUSA, you will
be re-directed to recreation.gov.) Reservations can be made 360 days
in advance.
Eagle Creek, Wyeth and Herman Creek
do not accept reservations; however they generally have open sites except
on holiday weekends (Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day).
Arriving any weekday, especially before 3 PM, you will generally find a site.
