YWSE's Take On ... Learning from the Trail

What's your next big bold action?

Adriana Dakin, YWSE-SF Board Member

Every August, we've made it a tradition to lead a hike as one of our annual YWSE events. This time, we invited Greta Franklin, who hiked the Appalachian Trail last year (all 2,176 miles of it, from Maine to Georgia during the course of 5 months), to tell stories of her bold life-changing experience on the trail while we walked.

Our group of about twenty-five women, two men, a baby and a dog hiked along a ridge in the Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve in the hills above Oakland, then down into a shady valley where we stopped for lunch, and back up a valley to our starting point.
