Author Event with Philip Werner

If you want to start hiking as an older adult or you hiked as a youth and are just getting back onto the trails, you’ll quickly discover that the hiking gear and skills used by today’s hikers have changed significantly in the past 20 years. From lightweight gear, footwear, and clothing to advances in GPS navigation and satellite communications, nearly every aspect of the hiking experience has been transformed, making hiking more accessible than ever for older adults.



Join Philp Werner, author of the new book Hiking Over 60: A Modern Guide to Hiking Gear and Techniques for Active Adults, who will bring you up to date on the latest advancements in hiking gear, clothing, and know-how that can make hiking easier and safer for senior hikers. Philip will bring examples to demonstrate some of the dramatic changes that have occurred in the hiking “gear-scape” and will answer any questions you might have.
