“The Amanda Trail is a 25-year endeavor that created ripples throughout the Yachats Community. The trail built greater awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the history of the local Original People, and led to a commitment to preserve that history, including archaeological site preservation.”
So begins the revised and updated document detailing the process, timeframes, volunteers and partners who worked to establish one of Yachats’ pride and joy, the Amanda Trail. Yachats-resident Joanne Kittel spearheaded this project and has written the story as a historical record. The full version is nine pages and there is also a condensed shorter one-page version. Both versions are preserved on the View the Past web page of VtF and available from the following links:
