<p>1/ As <a href="/tags/winter/" rel="tag">#winter</a> in the <a href="/tags/mountains/" rel="tag">#mountains</a> winds down, I am concluding my fifth year of <a href="/tags/snowshoeing/" rel="tag">#snowshoeing</a> in the mountains. So many great memories, so much to reflect. I began doing serious snowshoeing in the mountains around the peak of the pandemic (winter 2020/2021) when I needed to get outside.

<p>Most of my big hiking adventures so far have happened in Yosemite. But for my second backpacking trip, I felt like I should escape my Yosemite bubble, get out of my comfort zone, and experience something new. Enter Henry Coe, the largest state park in Northern California at 87,000 acres. <br><a href="https://seasonsofjason.com/backpacking-henry-coe-state-park-day-1-escaping-the-yosemite-bubble-2/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="seasonsofjason.com/backpacking-henry-coe-state-park-day-1-escaping-the-yosemite-bubble-2/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">seasonsofjason.com/backpacking</span><span class="invisible">-henry-coe-state-park-day-1-escaping-the-yosemite-bubble-2/</span></a> </p><p><a href="/tags/hiking/" rel="tag">#Hiking</a> <a href="/tags/backpacking/" rel="tag">#Backpacking</a> <a href="/tags/nature/" rel="tag">#Nature</a></p>
<p>The enormity of what I’m about to do feels so daunting. The anxiety of the unknown mixes with the excitement of adventure, and it’s hard not to start spiraling. </p><p>Maybe it’s biting off way more than I can chew, but I feel driven to at least take this journey as far as I can. </p><p>I hit the trailhead tomorrow. </p><p><a href="/tags/thruhiking/" rel="tag">#thruhiking</a> <a href="/tags/backpacking/" rel="tag">#backpacking</a> <a href="/tags/oregon/" rel="tag">#oregon</a> <a href="/tags/oct/" rel="tag">#OCT</a></p>

<p>It’s time to break new ground in my hiking journey, and I want to bring you along for the ride. Here’s why I’m choosing the Oregon Coast Trail as my first thru-hike, and how you can follow my journey! <br><a href="https://seasonsofjason.com/backpacking-the-411-mile-oregon-coast-trail-a-prologue/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="seasonsofjason.com/backpacking-the-411-mile-oregon-coast-trail-a-prologue/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">seasonsofjason.com/backpacking</span><span class="invisible">-the-411-mile-oregon-coast-trail-a-prologue/</span></a> </p><p><a href="/tags/hiking/" rel="tag">#Hiking</a> <a href="/tags/oregon/" rel="tag">#Oregon</a> <a href="/tags/backpacking/" rel="tag">#Backpacking</a></p>
