Hike Description:

Posting a hike for tomorrow.

Duncan Creek is one of the hidden marvels of the Washington Gorge, a lush, rushing stream of tumbling cascades and plunging waterfalls which increase in size as you ascend the creek. The hike takes you up the East Fork Duncan Creek on State of Washington, Gifford Pinchot, and Friends of the Gorge Land Trust property to a logging road on Longview Timberlands territory. The trail is rooty and steep in places, not your conventional three-foot wide gently graded standard. However, it is usually easy to follow and has become well used in recent years.

My hiking style is to stop frequently by creeks, wild-flower meadows, geological marvels and conversation, and not to rush through it. I reserve the right to remove anyone from the hike anytime based on their fitness level, attendance record, incomplete profile, not good social fit or negative attitude.

  • If you are on the going list, and decide to cancel, please change your RSVP to "No" asap. Canceling after 6 pm on Saturday will result in a no-show on your record.
