Explore Oregon's Punch Bowl Hike

My colleague and I had the day off while staying in the KOA located in Cascade Locks and we wanted to go on an adventure. We asked our office clerk for places worth wild to hike to and right away she recommended this memorable spot. She was very descriptive and sold us on this location instantly. Punch bowl was the name and we would soon find out what all the fuss was about. Long story short... It wasn't long before we packed up our boards and off we went!





Now for how to get there...read VERY carefully. From Cascade Locks, travel west and merge onto the I-84 west highway (you will be on this for around 1.3 miles), from here you need to take exit 40 towards Bonneville Dam, then an immediate left onto NE Bonneville Way which will circle you back onto the I-84 but now going east towards Hoodriver. Once on the highway again, you will have to take exit 41 (Fish Hatchery/Eagle Creek), left on to NE Eagle Creek Ln and follow that until you hit the loop at the end. With a bit of luck, there should be a number of parking spots near the trailhead. To put it into perspective, the whole driving time from Cascade Locks, should be about 15 minutes.
