Hello, Just joined the list because I'm looking for a May backpack destination. I wonder what's the least-civilized section of the OCT? I'm also generally...
Paul, Glad you joined! The most wild part (IMHO) is Bandon south to Port Orford. See my trail log of that section at: http://www.kenneke.com/~jon/oct Jon (the...
I think September is one of the best times of the year to hike the OCT, especially right after school starts. The crowds (and evil dune buggy type vehicles)...
I am a day hiker who hopes to do some long-distance backpacking on the Pacific Crest Trail this summer, and I would like to do a training hike during my spring...
March on the coast can go either way. I've spent spring breaks with rain everyday, and others with 3 or 4 nice days. In any event, prepare for rain. I'd pick a...

Jared, In my experience, September is a good time to hike the coast. Of course, you always should carry rain gear, 'cause you never know. Another good thing...

You should be able to make it to the Calif. border easily in 20 days. In fact, you can take your time and enjoy. When in Port Orford, make sure you visit...

I seriously doubt there's public transit to Warrenton. You might have to get a cab or something -- if they have those in Astoria. You might also consider...
Yup, the Amtrak Coast Starlight from KF is almost always many (5 or so) hours late getting into PDX. So, the Grey Dog might be your best bet. There is taxi...

Yeah, you're right. A little more research showed that The Explorer Train is no longer. As for Greyhound, I guess it doesn't run out to Astoria anymore, but ...
Geez. I do know that Amtrak run a bus (yes, a bus) from PDX to Astoria. And, it runs on time. So, you could Grey Dog it to PDX, and then Amtrak to Astoria. I...
can anyone give me a good spot to park in florence for 20 days. I contacted the state park but they are pretty worthless for knowledge. So if any one can...
