BLUE MOUNTAINS TRAIL CASE STUDY

BMT header.jpg

The Blue Mountains Trail is a 530-mile long-distance hiking route through northeastern Oregon.

Overview

Project Details

Watch: My keynote presentation at the 2021 Greater Hells Canyon Council Hellraiser event.

Project: Blue Mountains Trail Development

Scope: During my outreach to different Oregon communities for the Oregon Desert Trail, I began a conversation with the Greater Hells Canyon Council about their interest in developing the Blue Mountains Trail to engage the recreation community in environmental issues unique to their region. Using the Oregon Desert Trail as a template, I volunteered to guide the organization in the development of this new route. I volunteered to be the first solo hiker to ground-truth the alignment in 2020, designed the trail logo in 2021, assisted in PR work in 2023, and continue to serve on the Blue Mountains Trail Committee to advise ongoing efforts.

Testimonials

"Taking on a project with the breadth of the Blue Mountains Trail takes a lot of help, and I've been so lucky to have the guidance, support and camaraderie of Renee Patrick for this effort. She not only helped me build the tools for the trail, she even hiked the rough draft version and continues to advocate for and positively impact our work."
