OregonHikers.org

Did you know that Trailkeepers of Oregon hosts and maintains the popular OregonHikers.org website? Oregon Hikers is the most comprehensive source for hiking information on trails in Oregon and receives millions of visitors a month during peak hiking season. This resource was built by and for the Oregon hiking community. TKO can trace its roots as a budding trail nonprofit all the way back to threads on the Oregon Hiker’s forum! This grassroots method of building community is still at the heart of everything TKO does.

TKO is invested in making sure OregonHikers.org is a resource for the trails community for many decades to come. If you use the field guide to help inform your adventures consider giving back to this resource and making a gift to TKO today!

We are sweetening the deal for those who give back to Oregon’s trails this month.

Thanks to our friends at Pickathon, we’ve got a few sets of weekend passes to give away, and the more you donate the more chances you have to win!

Over the month of April, if you give $250 or more in total donations to TKO, you will also be entered to win a Pickathon VIP Backstage weekend pass.

Each week in April, we will host a new raffle for another pair of weekend passes, so if you dont win one week, you can always enter again!

Accessibility For Oregon Hikers

This summer, the TKO Communications Committee is excited to begin work on a pilot project to add accessibility information to some of the most popular hikes on OregonHikers.org. The 2022 Trailkeepers Leadership Summit keynote and field session was a collaboration with Access Recreation to train TKO leadership on accessibility issues, data collection and problem solving. Our volunteers are eager to put these skills to use!

This pilot program will train and deploy TKO Trail Ambassador volunteers to go out and gather data on the top 10 most visited trails on the OregonHikers.org field guide. By providing this data for the first time on the site, folks with various accessibility needs will have access to the information they need to make decisions about what trails are a good fit for their personal adventure style.

This project is new to TKO and volunteers need equipment and training supplies. You can help them out by giving today!

A Message from TKO’s Executive Director

Happy Holidays Trailkeepers,

The TKO Legacy Builders end-of-year campaign is coming to a close on December 31st. We are so proud that this campaign is fueled by a grassroots donor base that builds a kick start of support for a new year. Our approach continues to be that everyone in their own way is a Trailkeeper – giving time, giving passion, or giving dollars. Each of these contributions amount to more protection and enhancement of Oregon’s hiking trails.
