Thanks for sharing these. This is one of my favorite hikes and is a rite of passage for my children. We backpack from Wahtum lake down as soon as I fell comfortable with them on the very exposed sections of the upper trail.



I really like #2. That's from a different perspective than one normally sees.

On #5 and #6, I'm wondering if a different crop would work better so that the water is not exiting right through the center of the bottom of the frame. Maybe crop some of the left?

Beautiful images, I particularly like #2.

Very nice. My mom used to live at Eagle Creek, but I sure don't remember this beauty being there!! I did not do any wondering around there either.

Very nice, Ron
