SAIL Senior Hiking Club sets next hike for the morning of Thursday, Nov. 30

The Sitka office of the Southeast Alaska Independent Living Inc. (SAIL) has announced its next Senior Hiking Club hike event.

The hike will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 30 (no hike Nov. 23 due to Thanksgiving holiday). Seniors should meet at Indian River to hike the Kaasda Héen trail. Rides are available for those who need them. Participants should be prepared to wear masks to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and practice distancing while on the hike.

Normally, the group picks the trail on the day of the hike, but occasionally a trail is picked before the event. SAIL makes trekking poles available for hikers to use (trekking poles are great on ice or uneven terrain, and they help seniors keep their balance), and hikers are encouraged to bring ice cleats such as YakTrax during the icy months of winter.

SAIL offers Senior Hiking Club events for those age 60 or older two to four times a month. There is a $10 fee, but nobody will be turned away because of finances. Please use this link for the scholarship form, https://forms.gle/SYCKpaVjCoKXpzqz5. The hikes are open to people of all abilities and fitness levels. To learn more about the Senior Hiking Club, check out our January 2013 post introducing the club.
