The Pacific Northwest Trail Association (PNTA) is seeking new board members.
Posted by
PNTA board members work to provide mission-based leadership and strategic governance for the Pacific Northwest Trail (PNT).
The PNT is a 1200-mile non-motorized recreation trail running from the Continental Divide in Montana s Glacier National Park to the Pacific Ocean on Washington s Olympic Coast. It was designated the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail by Congress under the National Trails System Act in 2009. The PNT crosses three national parks, seven national forests, two other national scenic trails and several mountain ranges.
The PNTA is a healthy 501c3 with a growing base of support. Board members are involved with fundraising, outreach, strategic planning and programmatic oversight working to see the PNT completed, protected, and funded while maintaining a commitment to the PNTA’s mission.
The beach might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of backpacking, but there are plenty of coastal routes that include hiking and camping on the coast. From the Oregon Coast Trail, to the Pacific Northwest Trail, to the Lost Coast Trail, backpacking next to the ocean is an amazing experience that involves plenty of sand, sun, and views.
When packing for a trip that involves beach hiking, my main consideration is keeping sand out of my gear (especially my tent), as well as the variability of coastal weather conditions. Weather sweeps in fast on the coast, so you’ll want to be protected from everything from extreme sun exposure to wind and rain.

The Bennet family is still at it.
The family of six, made up of parents Adam and Mindi and their kids, Sierra, Kaia, Tristan and Ruby, have now traveled more than halfway through New Mexico on a trip that will take them through Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana, finishing in the spectacular Glacier National Park on the Canadian border. The trail, known as the Continental Divide Trail, or CDT, is the longest of the three “triple crown” hikes of North America.
