Nature walks/hikes with me involve putting up with my need to stop often, to examine/admire/photograph interesting things seen, hearing me squeal, often, with unbridled excitement, upon discovering something really cool & listening to me nerd out about how wonderful nature is 😃 Also be expected to have me suddenly stop & make you stop & be very still/quiet - if I think I hear some wildlife movement. I will literally freeze my steps immediately & use my cane or arm to block you from moving 😆
It also involves me occasionally asking for extra hand/arm to help me navigate sketchy inclines. I will be vocal with request for assistance. I don't want anyone to just grab my arm/hand & help me without me asking, first.

Hi! I'm still looking for resources on hiking while disabled - maps, accessibility guides/rubrics - etc to help others find places they can go. I welcome a boost and any/all recommendations. I'm in California, but am looking for replicable models, templates, etc. Thanks!
#Hiking in #EastSooke through flooded out trails. Great views of #SookeBasin ✌🌲🥾

Hi - are there any disabled hikers in my network here? I'm newly disabled (by Long Covid). Limited energy, using an electric wheelchair. But I miss hiking and am very inspired by the work of Disabled Hikers in the Seattle area. I'm hoping to volunteer with trail groups in SF Bay Area to map accessibility. Would love to be in contact with others who've done this, who hike in a chair, who love trails, etc etc.
