An ONDA initiative since 2011, the 750-mile Oregon Desert Trail traverses some of the most spectacular natural areas of the state’s dry side, including Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, Steens Mountain, and the Owyhee Canyonlands. While we have surveyed every inch of the route in crafting the Oregon Desert Trail, it remains a work-in-progress. Learn more about why ONDA decided to create the ODT, some interesting facts about the route, and some of the ways the ODT is engaging hikers in conservation and learning more about our public lands and eastern Oregon.
