Slide Removed From Eagle Creek Trail

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area officials report a section of the Eagle Creek trail that had been closed due to a significant landslide over the weekend has been reopened.  CRGNSA officials say members of the Mount Hood Chapter of the Pacific Crest Trail Association and a Forest Service trail crew came together to clear the trail of mudslide debris.  The fencing has been removed and the trail is now open to the public.  The slide took place on the Eagle Creek Trail about one mile from the trailhead measuring approximately 25 feet wide, forcing a temporary closure until trail crews can get in to clear it.  According to the U.S. Forest Service, slides like these are more likely in post-burn areas and will likely continue during and following heavy rain storms in the foreseeable future.  If you are hiking in the area, the Forest Service recommends selecting trails in non-post-fire burn areas.
