The Hurricane Creek trailhead, located between Enterprise and Joseph, OR, is one the most accessible to the Eagle Cap Wilderness. In less than a mile, you find yourself in this wide canyon with towering peaks on both sides of you. A three mile hike takes you to Slick Rock Creek falls, an excellent place for a picnic and for exploring the upper creek. However, it is another eight miles to reach the Lakes Basin, and few people commit to this distance.
Bob Carter, my PCT hiking partner, had never hiked the entire trail. We have hike most of this larger wilderness area, and we were eager to fill in this "blank." Despite predictions of rain, we took off last Saturday morning, October 9. Here is the first set of pictures.
