North Coast Land
Conservancy will
lead three-day
walk in September
CANNON BEACH — CoastWalk
Oregon, a three-day walk
benefitting North Coast Land
Conservancy, is back for a sec-
ond year on Sept. 22, 23 and
24. 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.

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.
