In this episode, we sat down with Syren Nagakyire, the founder of Disabled Hikers, an organization that creates trail guides and resources for disabled hikers. Syren was inspired to create Disabled Hikers after realizing there was a lack of information about accessible trails. The organization’s trail guides are written by disabled hikers, for disabled hikers and uses a spoon rating system to offer a concrete determination of trail difficulty. Syren and Disabled Hikers work with parks and organizations to improve accessibility within outdoor activities. The organization also has a storytelling project and leadership initiative to help empower hikers interested in pursuing disability advocacy in outdoor recreation. (Episode Transcript)
