Tunnel Falls is the traditional turnaround spot for many on the Eagle Creek Trail, and it is indeed a splendid climax. Over the last thousand years, the falls have carved a majestic basin here, plunging 160 feet from towering basalt cliffs to the rushing creek-bed below. While this scene is impressive enough, the most bewildering aspect of the falls in the passageway behind them. Trail builders from the early 1900s blasted a tunnel behind the falls and then across the sheer rock face on their far side, making this area the slickest and perhaps, most precarious section of trail in the Columbia River Gorge. Looking downstream from the falls, you can see were the two forks of Eagle Creek converge, meeting at Grand Union Falls.

Please avoid the temptation to descend to the creek via the large slide on the near side, as so many have done before. Putting aside the obvious danger, the area is eroding before it's time, accelerating mother nature's intentions for the area.

The world is a beautiful place and I intend to share it. With over nine hundred thousand views and hundreds of features etc I have done well. All my work is my own and I am self taught. My palette is often those places kind of hid away that have a special beauty. I enjoy sharing and selling my work and I have thousands of images that would love to find a home on your wall at home or at your office. As a gift such as a tote bag or a poster. I can be contacted at 509-306-5167 or at Jeffclimer@msn.com. Feel free to explore and share.
