Upcoming Events & Group Hikes

Our group hikes are for people who are disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, or otherwise have personal lived experience of disability and your friends, family, and caregivers. It is not a space for non-disabled people to learn. If you are not disabled and are interested in how to create access and inclusion in the outdoors, please contact us to set up a separate meeting.

I had the pleasure of attending a Disabled Hikers group hike at the Dungeness Recreation Area in Sequim Wa on the Olympic Peninsula. This was my first hike with the Disabled Hikers group, and I loved it! The detailed trail guide created in advance by this group’s founder, Syren Nagakyrie, eliminated my usual anxiety about the challenges a hike may contain for me as a disabled woman. Syren led our hike and was welcoming, inclusive and clearly stated the simple hike rules such as hiking at the pace of the slowest person or slowest dog, stopping for anybody who needed to at any time and staying together as a group for the entire hike. I love the idea of this group, and I found this experience very empowering and supportive.

I look forward to more hikes with Disabled Hikers in the future.

Sherry Southern, Port Townsend Wa.
