Description:

The Oregon Desert Trail: Hiking on the Dry Side
Renee Patrick, the Oregon Desert Trail Coordinator, will talk about the Oregon Desert Trail initiative. A Bend resident, Renee brings 13 years of long-distance hiking experience with her as she helps shape the future of this 800-mile trail through desert in eastern Oregon. This introduction to the trail, which continues to be a work-in-progress, will include information about manageable sections you can hike now. Not to be confused with the Oregon High Desert National Recreation Trail, this trail traverses the state starting in the Oregon Badlands Wilderness, and including the Fremont NRT, Paisley Caves, the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, Steens Mountain and the Owyhee Canyonlands. Renee is also a packrafter and will share her story about a ‘water alternate’ option to the trail hiking route on the Chewaucan River.
