Doug,

Big snowpack this year.
Looks like the canyons in the PNW might take a little longer to get in
shape.
The Columbia river gorge is close to Portland with a bunch of cool
stuff to see.
Eagle creek is a popular hiking trail that has excellent views of a
great canyon.
If water levels are good Eagle creek is a 6 to 8 hour day of fantastic
canyoning.

Thanks for the response. That is good to know about the snowpack. I
will also be in the Bend area in few days. What about Henline creek aka
Maynard Drawson's Family falls? Would it be a good Hike/canyoneering
trip this time of year? It sounds fairly tame but it looks like a
beautiful place.

Doug,

If he dosen't chime in with something here, you might send him an e-
mail and ask what he knows.
