“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.” seasonsofjason.com/backpacking-... #Hiking

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! youtu.be/4LVWKbey3sw

Ok Oregon, you’re really winning me over. Owner of Sleepy Monk Coffee in Gearhart was incredibly kind to me, and a lady walking her dog strolled by , saw my pack, and asked if I needed anything. Day 2 has been wonderful. 13 miles down, 3 to go.

The enormity of what I’m about to do feels daunting. The anxiety of the unknown mixes with the excitement of adventure, and it’s hard not to start spiraling. Maybe it’s biting off more than I can chew, but I feel driven to take this journey as far as I can. I start Oregon Coast Trail tomorrow!

Nature never stops humbling me. That's a good thing. This (my 2nd backpacking trip) was grueling, and I'm still processing the experience. For now, rest. Lots and lots of rest.
