To know a place. That is thru-hiking to me, to give myself up to a particular landscape in my experience. And the desire to know many landscapes and have many experiences. To keep on keeping on.

I need some coast in my life.

When I'm feeling blue I take out the trail register that I got on my trail birthday at Walker Pass on the PCT in 2006. There are NINE YEARS of thru-hiker entries in here (remember a brown register box between Walker pass and Kennedy Meadows....that was the spot). There are so many friends who have signed in...many friends that I met after the fact and I can go in and find them ❤ I think Billy Goat signed in like 10 times. Best present ever given to me by the best pal ever....NEMO! And someone actually returned it to me too after 9 years. You can find the best people on the woods (or desert).

Just cause you dont believe in them doesn't change the truth.

Can't stop, won't stop.

Love me some crusty trees.

As you are planning your thru-hike, section hike, day hike, or even just a sight-seeing trip through Oregon's high desert, our Town & Services Guide has extensive resources to help you plan where to shop, eat, stay, camp, soak, play and more. Check it out on the website under the Trip Resources page.

The last day to nominate an Oregon river to Senator Wyden for Wild and Scenic River designation consideration is Monday, Jan 20!

Did you spend time on the Oregon Desert Trail (ODT) in 2019? If so we’d love to hear from you. Link in the bio ☝️ Anything from a day hike to a thru-hike of the 750-mile route qualifies, and we don’t want to just hear from hikers! If you biked, paddled, skied, ran, or walked any or all of the route please take a few minutes to give us your feedback and suggestions so we can further refine the route and resources available.

Since Senator Wyden's announcement of his Wild and Scenic River nomination process, we realized that 51 different unprotected rivers, streams, and creeks are found on or along the Oregon Desert Trail...read more about ODT Coordinator Renee Patrick's Wild and Scenic River nomination here, and nominate your favorite rivers today! https://onda.org/2020/01/51-rivers-that-could-be-wild-and-scenic

A new year, a new adventure...here's to the miles you will hike in 2020!

Wow, that's a fabulous way to commemorate your thru-hike of the Oregon Desert Trail! Congrats Allgood! 😍

Our business partners make it happen 👍 They help us develop the Oregon Desert Trail and provide great gear and tools to help you get #ONDAtrail. Thanks for your support REI, Footzone, TOAKS, Sawyer, GaiaGPS, Backpacker's Pantry and Montbell!

Yes, all the ODT trail work trips are this fun ☺ It's truly impressive what we can get done if we all work together! (2020 trips will go live in February) #Repost @theoregondesert ・・・ Trails cleared. Trees planted. Fences pulled. Habitat restored. stewards mentored. See what your support of ONDA led to in 2019 by checking out the stewardship impact report on our blog (or in your email) now. .
