Mmmm, drink up!

My volunteers are the best 🤩 after 6 days the Big Indian Gorge Trail (and Oregon Desert Trail) in the Steens Mountain Wilderness is looking pretty good thanks to these peeps....and we couldn't have done it without the help of John from the Steens chapter of the Backcountry Horsemen (well, maybe we could have, but these folks probably wouldn't have had a smile as big) who packed us in and out and brought treats!

I'm a chaco walker. #trueconfessions #allseasons

Kirk catches air!

How have I not hiked the Timberline Trail before?!?!? 40 delightful miles around Mt. Hood...such a wonderful little thru-hike in my backyard. Technological difficulties only had my phone working the first few days, but it was a blessing in disguise. It was the first time, maybe ever, that I didn't have a time piece. Totally time free! Doing that again.

Yes, yes! More!

Celebrating our awesome public lands this weekend with a some backpacking and nature reading 👣👣📖

Before.... And after. We cut out sagebrush that has been choking the trail for 35 years! It is hard work but our ONDA volunteers rose to the occasion 💪. Check out the wildflowers and cruiser trail in Big Indian Gorge on section 14 of the Oregon Desert Trail! We have a few more years of work to do, but we'll get there 😀

We're at it again! Heading to the Steens to clear trail in Big Indian Gorge. If you've been out there in the past few years you will see the cumulative work our hardworking ONDA volunteers have done to maintain this awesome section of the Oregon Desert Trail!

Hey ODT hikers! We are organizing a trip to the Paisley Mosquito Festival the weekend of July 27 to march in the parade on Saturday with our backpacks on (and say thank you to the trail town that's been so welcoming to ODT hikers!) and take part in a day of trail work with the Oregon Timber Trail on Sunday where the Watson Fire took out some of the Fremont National Recreation Trail. Email us if you are interested in joining in on the fun! odt@onda.org

Our hardworking volunteers cleared the rest of the Fremont National Recreation Trail on Morgan Butte this weekend! Head out and check out the tread 👣👣👣👣👣

Congrats @joehikes_ and @arnoschuster for completing the ODT!!! It's been a challenging year and you two did it with grace!

The sunsets and sunrises are bigger out here! Get #ONDAtrail #Repost @calliehikes ・・・ ODT Day 32: Mipe 480.4 to 494.8 On my last day on trail, I woke up to a spectacular sunrise. I drank coffee from my cowboy camp and watched the sun fill the sky with gold and pink. I only had 15 miles of downhill and flat terrain before town, and I was ready to get some town food. I carefully made my way down from the high ridge to the creek below, then up the other side. It was a hot, clear day, and there was no shade for miles. I rationed my water as I left the foothills behind and began crossing the flat valley towards McDermitt. I had service for the first time in days, and distracted myself from the road walk by texting friends and family, seeing what the world has been up to. Jackrabbits darted across my path as I walked past ranch houses and horse pastures, finally reaching the Nevada state line. Only four more miles.

Don't have time to hike all 750 miles of the ODT? Try one of these day hikes we shared with Bend Magazine. #repost ・・・ The 750-mile Oregon Desert Trail can be experienced as an epic backpacking excursion, but it can also be explored on day hikes that still show off the stunning landscape. ⁣ ⁣ Click the link in our bio to check out four day hikes on the Oregon Desert Trail.⁣ ⁣ Written by Suzanne Johnson

#Repost @joehikes_ Today was one of my favorite days of #thruhiking ever. The #oregondeserttrail is exploding with biodiversity, difficulty, but most importantly fun. These pictures won't do the magnificent Steen Mountain range justice. But I hope you can see just how excited I was to be in this glacial cut beast.

For all of you at the Outdoor Retailer, stop by the TOAKS booth and buy a spork to support the ODT! Booth 43159-UL
