Coastal Adventure Trail

Is adventure about more than just wild times in the outdoors? In Oregon it is, and we’re going to find out why.

Join us on the Coastal Adventure Trail for the second part of our documentary road trip, following award-winning travel writer Aaron Millar from Florence to Port Orford and beyond. 

This episode we’re taking the Coastal Adventure Trail. We begin at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, in Florence, for a sand-boarding lesson from world champion rider Gabe Cruz. Then head south down the coast, stopping at the sleepy seaside town of Port Orford for wild beaches, windswept headlands, ocean swells and one of the greatest wildlife experiences on Earth. Continuing along the coast, we explore the secret coves of the Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor – perhaps the most spectacular stretch of road in the entire Pacific Northwest – and finish in a forest of giants, fit for a fantasy book. Through it all, we’re going to discover why adventure, for Oregonians is about more than laughs and gasps, it’s about fostering a deep connection to the natural world, and in doing so, perhaps, a deeper connection to yourself too.
