Pacific Crest Trail Columbia Cascades Region: American Hiking Society
pctahs03, AHS Trip No. 49
|
2 - 8 Aug 2009, Sun - Sat. Mt. Hood National Forest. Mt. Hood NF, Mt. Hood Wilderness. (12 Volunteers, Work Level Moderate to Difficult, Backpacking.) The Pacific Crest Trail descends from Mt. Hood approximately 50 miles to the south on the edge of the Bull Run watershed. Work involves brushing, root removal and tread repair of the S half of the Eagle Creek Trail, from Tunnel Falls to Wahtum Lake. Base camp will be at Wahtum Lake where this favored alternative of the Pacific Crest Trail down to Cascade Locks begins. The trail descends from 3800 ft. Years of neglect have left it badly eroded and new fill and water bars will be needed in many places. Side springs and seasonal creeks will require the wearing of water resistant footwear. Hand tools will be used in the wilderness. Removal of debris and cables from an abandoned fire lookout site will be done before leaving Wed for rest and recuperation at Hood River that evening.
