Join ALDHA-West for the 20th Annual Fall Gathering,. The weekend will kick off Friday evening with dinner, afterwards The Trail Show will be recording a live show from the Gathering and we'll be showing a movie from Squatch Films in one of the lodges.
Saturday will be an awe inspiring day as we hear presentations from; Jean Ella The First Female to thru-hike the CDT, Jeff "Siddhartha" Kish on his PNT Thru-hike, Bernadette Murray on her families thru-ride of the PCT, and Justin "Trauma" Lichter and Shawn "Pepper" Forray on their Winter PCT Traverse. Other presentations throughout the day include a presentation on the Arizona Trail by AZTA Gateway Community Liaison Sirena Dufault, and The Continental Divide Trail by CDTC Executive Director Teresa Martinez. We will also have fun activities like Hiker Olympics and other shenanigans throughout the day. Saturday evening will be electric with energy as we induct in this years class of Triple Crowners and also present the Martin Papendick award for Trail Angel of the year. The evening wil conclude with celebration and revelry.
Sunday morning will be the general membership meeting with elections for the board, a gear raffle, and then tearful goodbyes as we part ways until we see each other again somewhere down the trail.
The board of ALDHA-West hopes you will join us this fall, and we look forward to another fun and exciting Gathering.
