Great to see this! I did it in 4 seasons, 2013 - 2016. 450 miles with the in-out hikes to camping spots, from the Columbia River to California (a bit farther than the official trail). I have video and GPS tracks of the whole trail. I'm interest in how you did Cascade Head because the trail on the north side was closed. I walked in on an access road and did the south part of the trail there.
I watched the first hour, saving the rest for later. I was about 2 weeks ahead of you. I was hiking into South Beach when you started from Ft. Stevens. I hiked the OCT once in '21, 3x in '22 and 2x in '23. I just have not got tired of it yet. I'll be back out this year for at least one more trip. I've gone southbound 4x and northbound twice.
Getting a partial knee replacement. Looking to get back into hiking. This looks like the ticket. I’ve Moto toured the coast several times and was always intrigued by the hikers I’ve met doing this trip. Thanks for this informative video from a personal experience. ~GrizzLee.
Nicely edited. I especially enjoyed your last two days and the beach walk down to the Winchuck River. I think it should be wadable in August at low tide? That was my plan at least in 2016, but the Boardman State Park trail had so many squiggles in the trail that I was late and missed low tide at McVay Park and had to go out to hwy 101 to finish the hike. I enjoyed seeing some differences you made from my hike. I'd do it all again but I laughed when you made a negative comment or two about sand because I'd had enough sand for a while too at the end. I took 32 days compared to your 31. I walked through the Heceta Head tunnel but you did it the better way!
I'm headed out next week to start my OCT down to Lincoln City or as far as I can make it in three weeks! Thanks so much for your video and documenting the trip. Since I'm flying in, it is so helpful to know how to prepare. I also noticed your USAA hat, are you a Veteran as well?
Thanks John. Heading out to the new C2c trail in April. Corvallis to the sea (near ono beach north of seal rock). 60 miles on forest service and private lands. Then the north umpqua trail at the end of May and the Oregon PCT segment in July and August.
Best OCT video on UA-cam!
What an adventure! Thank you for sharing it with us. OCT is my favorite but I hiked it in sections. 31 day through hike is impressive.

A wonderful documentary about your adventure!
This was a great video

That was a great video! It was really helpful to get some of my questions answered.

2:31:11 nice picture on the cover of that publication taken down at the natural bridges where they had that do not enter sign at 2:17:27.

Outstanding!! Looking forward to your next hike! ✌

Great video, thank you for sharing your journey along the Oregon Coast trail. The OCT is my next big adventure in the great outdoors
Don’t hesitate to ask any questions you have. Be careful crossing the rivers! Have a great adventure.
I hate it when they put an unlawful "trail closed" sign up in front of a publicly paid for trail. Never stopped me anyway...
