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

At 91, Dale Sanders just shattered his own record as the oldest person to hike the Appalachian Trail — a grueling 2,200-mile journey from Georgia to Maine, marked by 71 falls including six “hard” ones and even a hospital visit. Once broken by a friend, he returned stronger than ever — though not in peak shape — fueled by love, trail angels, and an unshakable mission to inspire. With mobility that defies age and a legacy stretching from paddling the Mississippi at 87 to summiting Mount Katahdin at 91, Sanders proves resilience isn’t measured by years — it’s measured by heart.
