The bugs were flat out terrible for the first ten miles today. It was their last hurrah. I knew that descending into the windy Columbia River Gorge would mean the end of bugs so they had to get there last attack in, and they did.
I opted to take a scenic alternate route in to the Columbia River Gorge called the Eagle Creek Trail and I ended up being very happy I did. I witnessed many beautiful creeks, creeklets, cascades, and waterfalls as I began my descent. The highlight of the day was the incomparable Tunnel falls -- an amazing 100 foot fall where a trail has been bored through a cliff behind the water. So you get to hike underneath the falls without getting soaked. Very cool.
