Happy Spring Equinox! And happy one year anniversary to Disabled Hikers. Excited to share this feature in the Peninsula Daily News special spring section. It speaks to my reasons for founding Disabled Hikers and some of my future goals. Link on bio! Go to page 22. Image description: a screenshot of an article. An ocean sunset photo is at the top with the title Outdoors Accessibility For All Disabled Hikers founder sets eyes on inclusivity. The article text surrounds the Disabled Hikers logo. #DisabledHikers #DisabledAndOutdoors #DiversifyOutdoors #OutdoorsForAll #AccessibleOutdoors #AccessIsLove #AccessibleTrails #PeninsulaDailyNews #ForksWashington #OlympicPeninsula #WashingtonTrails #LoveWhereYouLive #WashingtonHikers

One of my favorite lesser known spots in the Tampa Bay Area is the TECO manatee viewing center in Apollo Beach. I grew up visiting this place, and in recent years they've made the center entirely ADA accessible. 🐬 A boardwalk takes you to viewing platforms along the Big Bend inlet of Tampa Bay, then continues through mangroves and marshland out into the inlet. Manatees congregate in the warm water discharged by the power plant. There are also abundant fish and birds. 🐟 A new nature trail has been built through the salt marsh, ending at an observation tower. It is 0.71 miles to the tower; about half of the trail is board walk, the rest is compacted crushed shell. You can see my mom using her scooter in the first photo, taken from the observation tower, which is 2-3 flights of stairs.

When your dog just ain't about that post holing. 😂🐕😍

Disabled Hikers is almost a year old! I can hardly believe it has been so short a time, or that so much has happened! I'm so grateful for the outpouring of support and for the stories that have been shared. I'll be sharing a year in review article in the coming weeks. . As we are at a year, there are some expenses like website renewals coming due and I could really use community support to cover them. If you can, I'd greatly appreciate any amount you drop in the tip jar. 😊 . I have plans to incorporate as a nonprofit this year. Looking forward to the continued journey!

Access to my favorite beach, the first place that welcomed me here, that comforted me, that offered me connection, one of the places I feel most at home and at peace, finally reopened after over 2 months of being closed due to storm damage, the shutdown, and road erosion. I felt the loss keenly, and spent most of yesterday there. 🌅 CN: grief, death The third anniversary of my sister's death is approaching, as is another traumatic anniversary, and this time of year is always a challenge. I am flying to Florida in a few days, and am nervous about the travel and my mobility. So, I was especially grateful to be able to spend time in my favorite place. . Both of my parents are disabled, and I hope to write some posts about accessible hiking and other adventures while I'm in FL. More soon! Ancestral lands of the Quileute.

I love early spring, as the water flows across the earth to the sea, filtering through rocks. 📍 Ancestral lands of the Quinault and Hoh Images: the first is of three rivulets of water flowing over a large rock that is red at top and pale at the bottom. The water is tinted red from the iron. The second is of a sort-of cave created by a grouping of rocks, with a smaller cavern eroded into one of the rocks. Water paints the rocks in different shades. The third video is from within the small cavern, with water dripping and reflecting inside. #52NatureAwarenessChallenge #DisabledHikers #DisabledAndOutdoors #LoveWhereYouLive
