Be advised! Stretches of the Oregon Desert Trail route are exceedingly remote. The resources you’ll find here can be used in combination to help you navigate the Oregon Desert Trail route and to safely travel through the high desert.
Conditions on the ground in Oregon’s high desert can change rapidly. It’s always best practice to check land management agency websites for current conditions before you head out on a desert adventure.
To make planning easier, ONDA has divided the full 750-mile trail route into four regions and a total of 25 sections of 20 to 40 miles each, all of varying difficulty, and we have extensive information to help you understand what you are getting into and prepare accordingly.
