91-Year-Old Hiker Reclaims Appalachian Trail Record | Baltimore News

At 91, Dale Sanders just reclaimed his title as the oldest person to hike the entire Appalachian Trail—2,193 miles from Georgia to Maine, with 71 falls including six hard ones that landed him in the hospital. He first broke the record at 82 in 2017, then returned four years later to reclaim it despite not being in peak condition and battling a pinched nerve. His journey, fueled by inspiration and resilience, has rallied thousands online, proving age is just a number. Born in 1935—two years before the trail was finished—he’s also the oldest to paddle the Mississippi River on his 87th birthday, living proof that adventure knows no age limit.
