This morning I drove to the Eagle Creek Trailhead to hike up to Tunnel and Twister Falls. This is one of my favorite hikes, especially in the spring with the wildflowers blooming. 12.5 miles with 1,100 ft of gain. Near the beginning of the trail, this cliff along the trail was covered in saxifrage blooms.
Between the snow melt and recent rain, there were lots of seasonal unnamed waterfalls along the trail.
The weeping wall was pouring with water.
A bit up the trail, the water was coming off an overhang from the cliff above, I stood behind the curtain of water for this view across Eagle Creek.
There were several places along the trail where the rocky cliff sides were covered in wildflowers, both on the upside of the trail,
and below the side of the trail.
View of Eagle Creek through some of the burnt trees.

Zoom looking upstream at Sorenson Falls and the spray from Metlako Falls
The spur trail to view Metlako Falls was destroyed by the Eagle Creek Fire several years ago, this is a zoom photo of part of Metlako Falls as seen through the trees from the main trail.

Wy'East waterfall and Wy'East Creek, the creek was fast, cold and up to my. knees in places. I crossed barefoot, rather than try to use the downed tree and boulder hopping.

Some lovely rocks shaped by falling water over the years.

some of the wildflowers seen along the trail today:
Drove up to North Bend to hike the Little Si Trail, 3.8 miles round trip with 1,300 ft of gain. This trail is in the forest, going up the rocky Little Si. The trail starts out steep, gentles for a while and then goes steeply up to the top. 
This trail has many huge boulders and impressive rocky walls.
Views from the top of Mt Si, looking across the valley,
and back to Mount Si.
Loved this moss covered tree root.
Tiny fungi on a stick nestled in a moss covered boulder.
