Part 1 of 2. Dale holds multiple world records. His records include but are not limited to, being the oldest person to hike the rim-to-rim-to-rim route in the Grand Canyon, completing it at 85 years old, and the oldest person to hike the Florida Trail. He was the oldest person to hike the Appalachian Trail, completing it at 84 and paddling the entire length of the Mississippi River completing it at 80 years old. Those records have since been broken by slightly older people, but he plans to take back his Mississippi record this summer, now that he’s 87. Dale’s attitude towards life has allowed him to continue thriving into that older age and he shares some of that wisdom with us that takes a lifetime to gather.
