Most people this year will attempt to section hike the more well-established and less-exposed sections of the Blue Mountains Trail, and some highly experienced thru hikers have begun their preparations to take on the full trail.

With a fully vaccinated staff and most of the Greater Hells Canyon Region qualifying as “low risk”, we have finally started to return to the field work that is so critical to our mission. And, yes. It feels good!

Even with the long overdue recognition of forest lands’ importance in addressing climate change, forest management is stuck in the past.

Since announcing the Blue Mountains Trail in November of last year, we've been busy updating the route, adding to the website, and preparing for more people to come hike the trail this coming summer.
