Thru-hiking the Oregon Coast Trail

What a dream, to explore the Oregon Coast from my birthplace of Astoria on the northern Oregon Coast, to the border of California in the form of an ultralight thruhike on the OCT. It was not your typical hike for many reasons and it kept me on my toes the entire time.
Not a continuous "trail" like the other big hikes. But a series of roads, beach walking, and navigation that will test your stealthiness, people skills, and and how much you really do hate road walking. The resupply for food however was the easiest and maybe my favorite part.
The cool morning air (every day!) was such a treat away from those scorching inland temps. More wildlife than I imagined and so many amazing birds!
Even more stunning than I have ever known or remembered.
Sand. In. Everything.

Thanks Jess!

Nicely done. I did it in 4 seasons 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016. I saw most of the sights you picked but your presentation was very artful!

I absolutely loved watching this. I did the OCT through hike with a friend about 10 years ago and in 2 weeks from now I'm doing my favorite part of it from Florence to Brookings. Thank you for sharing! 🌊🌲⛺💚

That’s such a great section! Probably my fave. Stoked you get to go back and enjoy!

[@wanderformiles]

Nice vid! I've hiked the whole thing 4x and I'll be back out there in 2 weeks for #5.

Did Ft. Stevens to Brookings in '19. Too much yellow blaze. Some damn incredible scenery though. State parks are sweet for hiker/bikers.

[@chriskelly6559]

Oh yeah, fresh water was a problem.

Loved the video! I was thinking about bringing my solo Plex but was afraid the condensation would be a nightmare. How was that whole situation?

[@extremepedestrian]

It wasn’t as bad as I thought in my duplex but I did enjoy having the synthetic bag instead of down.

What time of the year did you do this and how long did it take you?😊
