It was a lovely 12 mile stroll down the Eagle Creek Trail for us. Though not strenuous, it was certainly sustained. Each turn provided beautiful views of towering trees standing guard over a deep canyon. Every so often, the trail would drop down and the river would rise up to meet us. And, the water was refreshing (though freezing!). There's nothing like 12 miles off-the-couch, but unfortunately, life doesn't always give you opportunity for warmups.

We enjoyed one more night by the Columbia River. The food was delicious at Brian's Poorhouse, though I don't suspect that Brian is all that poor based on the menu prices. Cindy has been a lovely host to us at the Mosier House...a simple Victorian overlooking a spectacular sunset.
