“I want the destination to be the journey itself. All the steps between camps. All the hikes between the capes. All the delicate wildflowers and the rugged rocks. All the variations in the size of the surf and the colors of the sand.”

Backpacking The Oregon Coast Trail, Day 4: A Zero Day At Rockaway Beach
I need to stop the chaotic way I’m hiking the Oregon Coast Trail. A rest day brings some clarity, a new outlook on the trail, a decadent crab melt, and a stunning sunset with a friend.

I’m running out of adjectives to describe how beautiful these days are on the Oregon Coast Trail.
And tonight, the sunset in Lincoln City left me speechless.

A whisper carried on the wind of the Oregon Coast trail tickles my ears. Sort of a high-pitched excited voice that introduces itself by saying “ITSA MEEE!”
It says if I eat these I’ll turn into Super Mario. I don’t believe it 😂

Yesterday, I ditched the Oregon Coast Trail guidebook and made my own way to Tillamook, hiking along the railroad tracks for about 10 miles. That’s where this happened!
