SUMMARY:OCT: Yaquina Head to Cape Perpetua
DESCRIPTION:This is a 40-mile backpacking trip along the Oregon Coast Trail (OCT). This section begins at Yaquina Head and continues to the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center. \nOn the first day we’ll take the Amtrak to Albany then a regional bus to Newport. In town we’ll collect some supplies then catch a city shuttle to the Yaquina Head Natural Area to explore and possibly tour the lighthouse. In the afternoon we walk the beach to Newport and over the bay bridge to South Beach State Park. We’ll sleep in the hiker/biker camp. \nOn Day 2 we continue along the beach passing the Ona/Beaver Creek area to pitch our tents at the Seal Rock RV Park. \nThe morning of day 3 we get an early start and continue to Waldport then onto the Big Stump and overnight in the Beachside State Recreation Area in the hiker/biker camp. On day four we pass through Yachats and into the hills to the Cape Perpetua Lookout and Amanda’s Trail\, finishing up at the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center. \nA return ride from Cape Perpetua to Eugene has been confirmed. All overnight areas have flush toilets and hot showers. The vast majority of the route is on sand or trail. About 8 miles includes walking on pavement; five miles of which is passing through towns\, using park roads\, and city streets\, three miles will be at the side of Coast Hwy 101 mostly during bridge crossings. The two major bridges have enclosed pedestrian areas for crossing. \nCost will run approx. $80 per person for transit fares\, camping fees and carpooling amount.  Food is additional. On the first day will plan to eat dinner at Cafe Mundo in Newport. On the second night possibly at a Japanese restaurant in Seal Rock.

SUMMARY:Mt Shasta
DESCRIPTION:This is a climb to Mt Shasta’s summit at 14\,180 ft via Avalanche Gulch on the south side. Although not a technical climb\, it will require a considerable physical and mental effort to ascend over 7\,200 feet from the trailhead. The rewards include sweeping views of the surrounding valleys and peaks\, and the chance to (hopefully) stand on the summit of one of the most beautiful Cascade peaks.  \nI’ll send more information before the trip\, but for now\, here’s a rough schedule. \nFriday: (Optional) Drive to Mt. Shasta and sleep in town or at the Bunny Flats parking lot/trailhead (6\,950 ft).\nSaturday: Ascend to Helen Lake base camp (10\,443 ft).\nSunday: Early am summit attempt. Return to camp for short rest. Descend to parking lot and drive home. \nConditioning and altitude\nAt 14\,180 ft\, Mt. Shasta requires a significant effort and can induce mild to severe altitude illness. The better your conditioning the better you will enjoy the climb and minimize altitude affects. Best methods include hiking uphill with a weighted pack\, running (hills if possible) and biking.

SUMMARY:Boulder Creek Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:One of Oregon’s few official wilderness areas that’s hikable in winter\, the Boulder Creek valley features a plateau forested with stately ponderosa pines—a rarity west of the Cascades.\nThis area burned several years ago. I have hiked it since the burn (last time was 2013) and it was recovering well. Because it is the Umpqua drainage\, you may find a mix of flora you don’t regularly hike among. The region is also full of interesting rock formations from periodic volcanism.\nThis will be a moderately paced hike and will have a crossing of Boulder Creek as a turnaround/lunch. Hopefully there will be wildflowers in bloom.
