Explore Oregon Coast Trail in Seaside
Seaside Public
Library hosts Oregon
author Connie Soper
SEASIDE — Break out your
hiking gear, and head to
the Seaside Public Library
on Thursday, Sept. 24. The
Friends of the Seaside Library
welcome Connie Soper, au-
thor of “Exploring the Oregon
Coast Trail.” The event will
take place in the Community
Room at 7 p.m., and there will
be book sales and signings pre-
sented by Beach Books.
If you have taken even a
short walk on any beach in
Oregon, you have been on the
Oregon Coast Trail. This won-
derfully scenic and diverse trail
extends nearly 400 miles from
the Columbia River to the Cal-
ifornia border, with over half
those miles on sand.
“Exploring the Oregon
Coast Trail” provides the infor-
mation you need to complete
the entire trail, or to enjoy seg-
ments of it as day hikes. This
book also provides insights on
chapters of Oregon’s coastal
history that make hiking the
trail a special experience.
Some highlights of the book
are: detailed route descriptions
for 40 day hikes, mile-by-mile
maps, directions for reaching
the start and end points of each
hike, logistical information that
will help navigate the trail, and
the history and personalities
that make hiking this state jew-
el possible.
Soper, a Portland author, has
hiked the entire OCT twice and
has done extensive research to
produce her book. Soper hopes
it will inspire people to explore
this beautiful natural resource.
Seaside Public Library is
located at 1131 Broadway. For
more information call 503-738-
6742 or visit www.seasideli-
