What are the chances? 2 ODT hikes meet in an airport... Cargo and She-ra on the way to the CDT. One of us has to go home after the weekend 😢

Sometimes it is all about the view

Before blooming: easy to miss. After: hard to miss. 😍

Happy birthday Spring Basin Wilderness. 10 years young 😍

Nature is cool.

Channeling my inner spring flower

Another work weekend on tap: the ONDA annual meeting brings hardworking volunteers together to do restoration work, dance to a local band, tap a keg of good brew and bask in the first really warm weekend of the year near the John Day! Can't wait!

I think that's a killer splint. Thanks guys!

Best wilderness first responder graduation cake ever!!

We'll be at the Continental Divide Trail Coalition's Kickoff party this weekend! Why? Well, as we like to say the Oregon Desert Trail is the CDT's little sister :) Come hear about the ODT at a presentation on Friday, and learn more at our booth during the Trail Days festival on Saturday...see you #ONDAtrail

ODT hikers, as many of you are preparing to spend some time along the route this spring, it's important to follow a few guidelines that we have noted in the materials, especially regarding travel through the Wildlife Refuges. Bikes & Cars: Many of the roads on the refuge are closed seasonally; if a road is closed to vehicles, it is also closed to bikes. Caching: Caching isn't allowed on National Forests along the ODT or on the refuges (Hart and Malheur refuges). Camping: Backcountry camping is not allowed on Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, but is on Hart Mountain Refuge if you fill out a permit (available at the Refuge Headquarters), and campfires are only allowed in established campgrounds on the refuge. https://www.fws.gov/sheldonhartmtn/hart/recreation.html Please help us and the Oregon Natural Desert Association keep these areas accessible to all and respect the multiple uses you will encounter along the ODT!

Central Oregon! Tomorrow is another chance to hear from the inspiring @ultrapedestrian team about their 2,600 mile Up North Loop at @mountainsupplyoregon #inbend at 7pm!

Hikers are getting ready for the ODT! What's your go-to piece of gear for a desert hike? We think a sun umbrella is a pretty good idea.

Thinking about hiking the Oregon Desert Trail? Check out 2018 fall thru-hiker Katie "Salty" Gerber's post over at @thetrek.co. #Repost @katiegerber The ODT is a spectacular and challenging 750 mile route across the high desert of eastern Oregon. • It’s remote and lonesome and the night skies and sunrises/sunsets are unreal. Snakes, coyotes, cows, oh my! • I recently wrote up a detailed trail profile of everything you’d need to know if you’re considering an ODT hike.

Introducing the #BadlandsChallenge! Can you hike, run or horseback ride all 50.1 miles of trail in the Oregon Badlands Wilderness? Find out more: www.onda.org/badlands-challenge/

Getting hungry yet? Tall Town Bike & Camp has a huge selection of backpacking meals now in Lakeview! 😋

Happy Birthday Badlands Wilderness! ONDA designed the 750-mile ODT to start in the Badlands...and there is no doubt why... Have you been? #Repost @theoregondesert ・・・ On this day in 2009, Spring Basin and the Oregon Badlands were permanently protected as Wilderness areas. ... Among the rugged cliffs and canyons and grassy hills in Spring Basin, you'll find healthy populations of mule deer, bobcat California Quail, Mountain Bluebird, Western Meadowlark, Golden Eagles and more. ... More than 100 species of birds and six species of lizards live in the arid environs of the Oregon Badlands. You may also find black-tailed jackrabbit, mule deer, elk, pronghorn, cottontail rabbit, coyote and bats. ... Spring Basin, Photo: Jim Davis Millican Valley, Photo: ONDA archive
