Webcast: Hiking the Oregon Coast Trail

From wide beaches and lush forests to windswept bluffs and dramatic sea stacks, the stunning wild coast of Oregon is emerging as the next great long-distance hiking experience. This world-class hiking trail right in Oregon's backyard is an increasingly popular destination, and now it finally has a dedicated guidebook!
On October 27th, join Bonnie Henderson, author of Hiking the Oregon Coast Trail, for a look at hiking the Oregon People's Coast. If you're interested in thru-hiking, section hiking, or just getting to know the Oregon Coast Trail's history, flora, and fauna, this presentation is for you!
BONNIE HENDERSON is author of two previous guidebooks, Day Hiking: Oregon Coast, 2nd Edition and Best Hikes with Kids: Oregon, 2nd Edition, as well as the critically acclaimed The Next Tsunami: Living on a Restless Coast and Oregon Book Awards finalist Strand: An Odyssey of Pacific Ocean Debris. When she is not on the coast, she lives in Eugene, Oregon. Learn more at www.hikingtheoct.com.

I came here for Bonnie Henderson’s talk about the OCT hike. Unless you want to hear an extended anti-logging commercial, consider skipping from 41:00 to 51:00. Bonnie’s book is the one true reference book for this hike and her website is updated with more current trail conditions. Thank you for posting this content!

I did the OCT in 4 seasons 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016. My GPS track is 450 miles. Averaged 14 mi. a day. Wonderful trip! I had all the tides calculated for the whole way so I got around obstacles. I got boat rides at Nehalem Bay, Tillamook Bay and Netarts Bay. Last day was not planned well and days were shorter so I missed the low tide to be able to cross the Winchuck River and into CA on the beach. That day was 23 miles. Many wonderful memories.

OMG! Can the woman get through a sentence without "umming" us to death? Finally gave up 1/3 of the way through. That and promoting "my book" every paragraph. Many, many much better webcasts on YT. Save yourself the trouble. Cringe.😫
