This portion of the trail has an elevation gain of less than 500 feet which makes it a relatively easy hike. However, sections are narrow with a breathtaking drop to the river below. This is not the best place to bring small children, pets or people queasy about heights. That said, the forest has some spectacular old growth trees and the plethora of waterfalls is hard to beat. Allow three hours for the roundtrip.
NOTE: alive and well 11/08
To the trailhead: From Portland go east on I-84 to exit 41. Turn right to the Eagle Creek entrance. There are a few spaces right by the trailhead but the majority of parking is by the restrooms as you enter the park. There have been many car break-ins at the trailhead but few near the restrooms.
To the letterbox: Head for the waterfall named for a Native American salmon goddess. At a point where the main trail intersects with a side path to the fall's viewpoint you will find three logs conveniently bolted together. Walk sixteen steps downhill where you will be facing a pair of twins. The letterbox is to your right, beneath loose bark
