Bell Creek Trail is an obscure trail in the Columbia Gorge that hardly anyone cares to know about, since, as the saying goes, "You've seen one tree and you've seen them all," as this album demonstrates. The Bell Creek Trail actually has some of the most pristine old growth in the Columbia Gorge. It takes an heroic effort just to keep the trail open, because it just wants to return to the wild, and for many years it was indeed impassable.

The trail is at 2,800 feet above the Columbia River, which is at sea level here.
