Punchbowl Falls on the Eagle Creek Trail
In order to get the pics of the lower end of Punchbowl Falls, (2nd and 3rd picture above) I had to go in....and wade to the middle of the stream in order to peak around the corner. I knew you could see the falls, if I could just get to the middle of the stream.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TRY THIS!! The water so frigid and swift, and the rocks were quite slippery. I had a trekking pole to help me navigate and something solid. However that is no excuse for the stupidity of doing it. I was fortunate that I did not fall in.
All I can do is laugh, as my legs and feet were so cold, they were beyond numb.
