[@rickkaylor7949]

Thanks for sharing. So much beauty! Also, so sad to see the burned areas. I'm envious but hope to be doing the same in 2025.

[@TheHungryHiker]

This is The Best! Video I've seen on the Oregon section. Bob, AKA Lao Tzu, thru hiker 1990

[@TheHungryHiker]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)

[@memathews]

You perfectly captured the beauty and hardship of the Oregon section of the PCT. So sad to see so much of the area burned next to the trail, but I recognized all the spots I've hiked over the decades. This is a wonderful paen to the trail, thank you for sharing.

[@TheHungryHiker]

Thank you! It’s hard to put my entire experience in Oregon into one video so this is definitely the highlight reel. It’s really beautiful out there. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@windeaglemartin1800]

Those burn areas are soul sucking. It’s always sad to see. But so many other beautiful areas in video looking forward to seeing in person this summer.

[@TheHungryHiker]

I agree. The burn areas were really tough to hike through and there were so many of them, but there were a ton of places along the trail in Oregon that were stunning. It's so beautiful out there!

[@johndoe-lr9if]

That double zero room was sweet, I want to stay there :) Thank you for showing so much of Oregon. Most PCT films show only a couple minutes of Oregon sadly it seems.

[@TheHungryHiker]

The stay at Callahans Lodge was pretty epic and quite luxurious. 10/10 would recommend. Also, Oregon was so beautiful along the PCT that I felt like it deserved its own video in this series. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PatchGirl68]

Absolutely beautiful country, so glad you're sharing your journey. Your stamina is amazing! Keep on truckin!

[@TheHungryHiker]

Thank you!

[@ervinslens]

Absolutely breathtaking piece of cinematography my friend!

[@TheHungryHiker]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@candacetoms4927]

Omg the blue of that water! 😮 Oregon looks so beautiful.

[@TheHungryHiker]

It was so gorgeous out there!

[@queenanne94101]

You BEAUTIFUL dirty SOBO! Oregon is so gorgeous and your vid is so so good. I applaud 👏🏼 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼you for tackling everything this state had to throw at you (and that jacuzzi tub…magic!). So proud of you you rock star ⭐️.Big hug to you!!

[@TheHungryHiker]

Thank you!!

[@philipdutton9831]

Love it! Thank You! I'll definitely be following you the rest of the way. Actually I wish I was there with you for all of that experience! Great video and soundtrack. Be safe!

[@billseay6399]

As always great video enjoy every one of them

[@TheHungryHiker]

Thank you! 😀

[@cherylwhistler8878]

So sad what the fires in Oregon have done. But Dan and Stacy!? wish we'd seen them- loved your trip with them a couple summers back- it put chain lakes on my bucket list!

[@rhiannmcdonald102]

Such an incredible video and adventure. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheHungryHiker]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@brookewilson4132]

Hi, I just watched your video on pct Oregon, we are playing a section hike end of July starting at timberline lodge to cascade locks -bridge of the gods. So I had a few questions, how was the water source and was the inclines steep?

[@TheHungryHiker]

We had plenty of water throughout this section in July and the trail wasn't flat. :) Your best bet is to download the FarOut Guide app and use it not only for your trip planning before you get on trail, but also for trail intel and navigation once you're on trail. You can get information about nearby water sources AND the elevation profile for the trail all through this app. Have fun out there!

[@rosalindpirkl8740]

Great montage of Oregon! Onward to California and looking forward to you next post ❤

[@TheHungryHiker]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Northern California or Bust!!!

[@Angela-p1w7w]

Thank you for your video! I’m looking at doing Oregon and this is so helpful. Can you tell me the dates/month you were here? Thanks!

[@TheHungryHiker]

Awesome! The Oregon section of the PCT is beautiful. I highly recommend hiking this section of the trail if you can. I hiked the Oregon section of the PCT last year and the end of July/beginning of August (2023).

[@jeffreylarson8469]

Hello!! About when will you be in the Desert? I will be providing some trail magic love. I just want to reach as many sobo hikers as I can.

[@TheHungryHiker]

It's hard to tell. It's all weather-dependent at this point on where I'll be out on trail and when.

[@litawolf1684]

With being on your feet for so long. What do you recommend to treat your feet to keep them healthy?

[@TheHungryHiker]

During the day when I stop for breaks, I like to take my shoes off and soak my feet in cold water if I can. When I get to camp at night, I love rolling a cork ball underneath my feet. It helps my feet feel so much better. Then when I get into town, I try to soak them in epsom salt and give my feet as much rest as I can.

[@guadalupeskitchen3734]

2 questions- do you carry a weapon for defense on trial, and do you pack a rod for fishing those beautiful lakes?

[@TheHungryHiker]

Nope and nope

[@ShelleyCara-p3i]

Emmerich Shores

[@TheHungryHiker]

Not 100% sure what this comment means, but in the video thumbnail, that's a picture of Jefferson Park in Oregon. It's one of my favorite spots along the PCT in Oregon.

[@vagabondwildernesswanderings]

Great video! Compared to Washington, Oregon seems flattish.

[@Topo.On.Trail1]

Let's do it!

[@TheHungryHiker]

Oregon is pretty cruise compared to Washington, Northern California and the Sierra.

[@harrytraction1380]

Sad to see all the burn scars throughout the states.

[@TheHungryHiker]

There were quite a few burn areas throughout Oregon. It was really promising to see some of the plant life already growing back in a few of these sections though. Mother Nature always wins!
