| − | === Description ===
| + | |
| − | The 'Potholes' is a short section of the Eagle Creek trail passed by many hikers on their way out to [[Tunnel Falls]]. It is characterized by slippery, bowl-shaped rocks carved from dripping water from the seeping rock-face above. Since this trail was blasted out of the bedrock in the mid 1910s, this erosion has taken place in less than a hundred years.

| − | Just before reaching this section, you've crossed the middle of two massive talus slopes. The Potholes are slippery and have a nasty little drop-off if one is not careful, especially on busy weekends where two-way traffic is inevitable
