Enjoy another evening of grand photos and storytelling from the wilds (or semi-wilds) of the world, Our speaker, long-time Mountaineers leader and Seattle Urban Walk Chair Peter Hendrickson will tell of trekking the first stage of Oregon's Coast Trail with his wife Nancy, mixing six days of beach, forest and highway walks with highway shuttles. They used Hiking the Oregon Coast Trail (Henderson, 2021), a Mountaineers book to self-guide the trek. Learn what it takes to prepare, coastal travel tips, tidal and rough trail considerations, and lodging alternatives.
"In my more than 50 years of long walks in Tasmania, Nepal, Europe, Britain and South America, this was our first, long beach trek in the U.S. Our self-guided walk began at the Columbia River and hop-scotched south to Rockaway with a roof over our heads each night." -- Peter Hendrickson
