Six hikers joined me for my Sierra Club outing to Tunnel Falls. The path to the falls is long, six miles in, six miles out. Wildflowers were everywhere along the path. Several tiger lilies were at the edge of the trail beckoning our cameras to take home an intriguing photo. My participants were all new to the trail except one. Each one had an enthusiasm that comes with a new discovery. Here's my tiger lily photo.

We were captivated by Tunnel Falls. It roars with spring runoff. We hung out for awhile and lots of pictures were taken. 

So, then we have six miles to get out. On the way out we made a stop at Punchbowl Falls and dipped our weary feet in the chilly creek. Tepid air made for perfect hiking weather. Here's a shot of one of the guys in our group getting a shot of Punchbowl Falls from down the creek. This is one of the most photographed waterfalls in Oregon.
