Bonnie Henderson shares her tips, resources and experiences from hiking the Oregon Coast Trail end to end. She's the author of Day Hiking Oregon Coast from Mountaineers Books and is currently in progress of completing a book about thru-hiking the Oregon Coast Trail. In our conversation we cover gear, special considerations about the OCT, boat shuttles, hiking with dogs and camping along the coast.
The Oregon Coast Trail (OCT) is a long-distance hiking route along the Pacific coast of Oregon. It follows the coast of Oregon from the mouth of the Columbia River to the California border south of Brookings. The trail was envisioned in 1959 by Samuel N. Dicken, a University of Oregon geography professor, approved in 1971 by the Oregon Recreation Trails Advisory Council. The walking length of the trail varies depending on choice of passage across or around estuaries and rivers along the route. If a ferry is not arranged or available, an alternate route around the estuary must be taken; if traveling on foot, this means road walking. The length of the trail is about 425 miles (680 km) if no ferries are used, though the official coastal guide gives a length of 382 miles (615 km). If no ferries are used, about 39 percent of the route is on the beach, 41 percent is on paved road, and 20 percent is on trail and dirt roads. (source: Wikipedia)

Jodie Morton is an Australian long distance horse rider. She shares the story of her 2019 ride on the Continental Divide Trail through Colorado, Montana and Wyoming with her mare Thelma. We learn the reason behind her ride and how she used this as an opportunity to both heal and bring awareness to mental health issues. Jodie's goal is to change the stigma surrounding depression; by making talking and seeking help an easier process and showing the world it's ok to not be ok (source: Green Gold and Blues). This episode does touch on the subject of losing loved ones to suicide and how that impacted her (mid way through the episode at 28:40).
Jodie shares the logistics and planning that goes into long distance riding, including setting up and breaking down camp and the thought she put into Leave No Trace.
We are also joined by Amanda Wheelock of the Continental Divide Trail Coalition. The Continental Divide Trail Coalition (CDTC) is a national non-profit working in partnership with the US Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management to complete, promote and protect the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. Founded in 2012 by a passionate group of volunteers and recreationists, CDTC is a membership organization working to building a strong community of supporters who want to see the CDT protected not just for today’s users, but for generations to come (source: Continental Divide Trail Coalition).
Amanda shares an overview of the CDT and how her organization works to support it. The CDT Coalition is sponsoring Virtual Trail Days the entire month of April with special guests, promos and fun ways to get involved and support the trail virtually.

Judy Bentley takes listeners through hiking Washington's history and reveals the stories behind Washington’s landscape, from Cape Flattery to Cascade Pass, from the Blue Mountains to Cape Disappointment. We discuss trails as old as 7000 years cross the Cascades. Hikers may climb to mountain lookouts and follow wagon roads, rail-trails, and expeditions through the Olympic Mountains. (source: judybentley.com)
Judy Bentley writes books about history, hiking, biography, and current issues for both adults and young adults. She grew up in Indiana, went to college in Ohio, and lived in New York City before moving to Seattle where she has retired from teaching at South Seattle College. The second edition of Hiking Washington's History was published by the University of Washington Press with co-author Craig Romano. Walking Washington's History: Ten Cities, published in 2016, is an urban counterpart to Hiking Washington's History. Both books guide hikers and walkers on historically significant routes in Washington State history.
