359 days, 71 falls, and one man who treats gravity like a minor inconvenience — trail angels even brought him caramel frappes.
91-Year-Old 'Greybeard' Becomes Oldest Person to Hike the Appalachian Trail After 359 Days and 71 Falls
Dale Sanders, 91, became the oldest person to complete the Appalachian Trail on August 31, finishing at Katahdin, Maine. The Kentucky-born hiker covered the 2,190-mile route in 359 days across disjointed legs, endured 71 falls and a hospitalization, then resumed after a family bereavement. Trail angels supplied food and encouragement along the way.
