Oregon Field Guide
Hiking from Portland to the Pacific Coast
Clip: Season 24 Episode 2406 | 7m 13sVideo has Closed Captions
A Portland man finds a way to hike from Portland to the coast without building new trails.
After 7 years of scouting, Jim Thayer of Portland has plotted a hiking route from Portland to the Pacific coast without using highways. Since trails don’t cover the entire path, he has found logging roads open for public access. Here he shows us two segments, one along the Salmonberry River and its washed out rail line and another near Saddle Mountain suitable for biking down to Seaside.
