Hanging out with Dave and Gerber at the BHA Beer, Bands and Public Lands shindig in Bend today. An awesome day for it!
Scenes from the ODT urban alternate. It's taco time.
Flowers for days 😍
Why stop hiking the Oregon Desert Trail just 15 miles from Bend? Walking a route to town...
Cut t-shirts, not switchbacks
True Dat. Rivers and trails are good for revealing that, "without the invigoration of ever-present threats, life turns vapid and is beneath respect. For all the river took away from us, it returned the greatest of gifts - a clean and unassailable purpose to existence."
Are you kidding me?????
Secret to hiking a route? Learning to read the terrain.
I'll take my miles where I can get them... 30 mile weeks instead of 30 mile days... #hiketohuntchallenge #gerbergear #hellotrouble #badassador #hikertrash #hikelikeagirl #thruhiker

@OregonDesertTrail

Need a weekend idea? Take advantage of these long days to get started on the #BadlandsChallenge. While we call it a challenge, it's really a go-at-your-own-pace adventure in nature observation. The #BadlandsChallenge invites people to slow down and notice all the live little things by hiking every mile of trail in the Oregon Badlands Wilderness. You have until September 30 to cover the 50 miles of trail, which ends up to be around 70＋ miles of hiking as you go out and back. You can register for the challenge and find more info, including GPS waypoints at https://onda.org/badlands-challenge/. Tag a friend and hit the trail! Photo: Renee Patrick
Last day to order your ODT hat today! Shipping tomorrow. Head to www.onda.org/donate and $30 will cover hat and shipping. Make sure to include "ODT hat" in the comment section
Thru-hikers, with all the high snow levels on trails around the country like the Pacific Crest Trail and Continental Divide Trail it may be tempting to think about just hopping over to hike the Oregon Desert Trail for a while and wait for the snow to melt, but the ODT is a much different experience than either the PCT or CDT. There is a lot of prep and planning to do around water, navigation, and setting yourself up to be successful on a challenging desert route like the Oregon Desert Trail. The best place to start if you want to come out while the snow melts is our website: www.onda.org/OregonDesertTrail We have all the resources you would need to plan and prepare, and of course, find the ice cream.
The Ultralight Jerk proceeds are in! Over $2,200 arrived today from the t-shirt sale! And it continues... For the next 5+ days you have another chance to score big and help support trails and public lands in Eastern Oregon. www.bonfire.com/cut-toothbrushes-not-switchbacks/
Hikers, it is now fire season along the Oregon Desert Trail. What does that mean for you? (from https://www.scofmp.org/) 1) Possession of the following fire-fighting equipment is required while traveling in a vehicle, except on state and county roads: an axe, a shovel, and one gallon of water or one 2.5 pound or larger fire extinguisher. *** "Axe" means a wood cutting tool having a handle of not less than 26 inches in length and a head weight of not less than 2 pounds. *** "Shovel" means a digging tool having a handle not less than 26 inches in length and a blade of not less than 8 inches in width. 2) Smoking in wildland areas is permitted only in enclosed vehicles on roads. 3) Open fires, including campfires, charcoal fires, cooking fires and warming fires, are permitted only at posted and designated sites.
We are selling our Oregon Desert Trail hats online this week only! Get yours by heading to www.onda.org/donate. $30 will cover hat and shipping and make sure to include "ODT hat" in the comment section. Please place your orders by Thursday night, shipping in Friday.
The fine folks at @alpine.running have cleared all of the Fremont NRT (and ODT in Section 7) to prepare for their Wild Outback race this weekend. Thanks for all the work and improving the trail for everyone!!!! #oregondeserttrail #allaboutlakecounty #fremontnationalrecreationtrail #fremontforest #ultrarun #hike #bike #horsebackride
These folks are getting ready to hike the 107 mile Christmas Valley Loop. Pressed for time and don't want to deal with shuttles and rides? Check out some of the loop hike options we have on the website
It is a vibrant spring out there for ODT hikers! #Repost @walkinginstillness ・・・ I just loved all of the small towns and hamlets in this remote part of Oregon. Everyone was so friendly. Travelers consisted of birders visiting refuges, soakers going to hot springs, and hunters scouting out for their fall hunt. This is big time ranching country. #oregondeserttrail #deserthiking
