JoshK Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 I saw mention somewhere of something named the Pacific Northwest Trail that apparently travels from the Pacific ocean on the WA coast to Glacier NP in Montana. Has anybody heard of this?? Quote

fenderfour Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Yep. There's a guidebook out there somewhere. Maybe a search at REI or amazon will yield something. I got the book as a company gift a while ago, but have since given it away. Quote
klenke Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Yes, I have heard of this and once met a guy who was doing it in Polebridge, MT (west side of G N.P.). It follows near the Canadian border a lot of the way and sometimes uses roads (i.e., it is not all on trails). I saw a book for it at REI once. This one. Quote
Dru Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Can you use mules like on the Oregon Trail, or are mules aid? Quote
JoshK Posted February 21, 2006 Author Posted February 21, 2006 I figured it was a good portion roads since I couldn't see how the hell a trail would get from WA to MT and manage to avoid all (or most) civilization. A mule? I planned on riding a Pony the whole way. Quote
knotzen Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 The TH to Oyster Dome on Chuckanut Dr. has a sign posted. That's part of the trail, apparently. Not sure if that's where it ends or... Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Would that make Yaks aid in the Himalaya?? Quote
Dru Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Yaks are native to the Himalaya but mules are not native to the PNW. If you could get snaffles to tow you along the trail that would be OK. ----- Quote
kurthicks Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 I got a copy of that book for christmas a few years ago. I haven't even opened it. Quote
Squid Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 There's a poster here (Suz) who traveled most of this trail. She's got a TR on her website. BTW, Suz rocks. Quote
plexus Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 www.pnt.org They do quite a bit of trailwork and actually do some good work with kids that would otherwise be dropouts if it wansn't for their work program. I knw they were pushing years back to get the bridge over Swift Creek repaired but apparently a biologist wanted to place a phantom grizzly bear out there. Quote
