This year’s walk welcomes more participants and features a new route highlighting the history of the Oregon Beach Bill, which marks its 50th anniversary this year. Participants in Coast- Walk Oregon 2017 will walk roughly 10 miles of the Oregon Coast Trail each day, about half on the beach and half on forest trails. Most of the 30-mile walk follows the route Gov. Oswald West took on horseback in 1911 that, two years later, inspired him to champion a law declaring Oregon’s beaches public highways. That law was a precursor to the 1976 Oregon Beach Bill, which was prompt- ed by a Cannon Beach hotel owner’s effort to claim part of the beach for his private use. COASTWALK OREGON 2017 Sept. 22, 23 and 24 Hike from Ecola State Park to Nehalem Spit CoastWalkOregon. org $349 SUBMITTED PHOTO Participants follow a trail over Tillamook Head on Day Three of last year’s CoastWalk. This year’s walk will follow a route from Cannon Beach to Nehalem Spit in September. Day One will begin in Ecola State Park, pass Can- non Beach and end at Arch Cape. Day Two crosses into Tillamook County on a route winding through Oswald West State Park on forest trails, end- ing at the north Neahkahnie Mountain trailhead. On Day Three, participants will summit Neahkahnie Mountain, then — after a shuttle to Neahkahnie Beach — walk the beach to the tip of Nehalem Spit, where they’ll cross the Nehalem River by boat. Registration is open. After a successful first year with 50 participants, CoastWalk 2017 will top out at 75 walkers. Register online at Coast- WalkOregon.org The $349 registration fee covers wayfinding guidance, parking fees, shuttles to and from trailheads, a boat shuttle across the Nehalem River, snacks, a celebratory lunch at the end of Day Three, and lots of cheerleading. Lodging and most meals are not included. Most of the registration fee represents a tax-deduct- ible donation to North Coast Land Conservancy, which has just undertaken a project to conserve 3,500 acres of forest adjacent to Oswald West State Park — a private land conservation effort un- precedented in size in west- ern Oregon. The Rainforest Reserve, which NCLC hopes to complete within five years, will create a continuous 29-square-mile conservation corridor stretching from the ridgetops to the nearshore ocean at Cape Falcon Marine Reserve. CoastWalk Oregon participants will walk right through the middle of that corridor.
