Eagle Creek 2015-06-12
Eagle Creek Trip on June 12, 2015. We hiked from the trailhead to Wahtum Lake via trail #440. GPS great earth calculations show the round trip distance as 27.5 miles. Our hiking programs (like this one) estimated the distance as 30.5 miles. We gained about 3700 feet going up to Wahtum Lake.
This trip was one of my sixty sixties as I was supposed to complete the roundtrip hike in a time savings of at least 60 minutes compared to my previous trip (13:40). Brian Parsonnet and Michael Risse, both colleagues of mine at Seeq, joined me. Brian and I trained for the hike but Michael set a hefty pace for much of the hike. Good news, we completed the hike in 10:18, well under the goal. Hurrah.
