Short hikes with your walker

 Elderly


Be active elderly
This is another short little hike we took off the Cascade highway, It is not far to walk and even has a bench to rest on.  It is located just a few miles out of Bend towards Mt. Bachelor. The dogs and her both really enjoyed it. Just because you can't hike long doesn't mean you can't enjoy the outdoors. Go for a short hike instead of watching TV, you don't have to rush. Many walkers today (mom has one) work real well outside and even have a seat where you can set and rest when you need to. They also work well for hauling fishing stuff down to where you want to fish.  You have all day, no rush, go at your speed and you will be amazed at the difference it makes in the way you feel, mentally and physically. Even if you have to go in a wheelchair, getting outside listening to the birds and seeing the sites is so much better for you then TV.
