Thursday April 6th, 2023 5pm, meet at Horse Gulch Trailhead
TWIGS Hike with Ashley Carruth and her SOLES Sisters
"Inspiring high school youth to lead healthy lives rooted in wild places, confident leadership and authentic community engagement." SOLES believes that a strong sense of self-worth and belonging are essential elements in fostering mental well-being and agency to bring about positive social and environmental change.
Meet former AHS Humanities teacher and some of her San Juan Mountain SOLES students at the trailhead at 5pm this Thursday for an evening hike along with stories from the field. Good walking shoes and layers recommended, dogs welcome.
Ashley is the founding director of SOLES, whose mission is to inspire youth to lead healthy lives rooted in wild places, confident leadership and authentic community engagement. Several AHS students have participated in SOLES over the years, and a handful will join us on the hike to share more about how the program has impacted them. Learn more and view the SOLES application here.
All are welcome. Come prepared to hike and learn more about this incredible group from its founder and sisters. Rain or shine.

We encourage you to bring a water bottle, snacks, raincoat, warm layer, hat, and anything else you might need for a rain or shine hike. In the event of a torrential downpour or school closure, we'll reschedule for a future month.
