A Word From SATC’s President

There is no doubt about it, Covid-19 has turned our lives upside down. When I look at a definition of the word “club”, it is an organization of people with a common purpose or interest, who meet regularly and take part in shared activities. Unfortunately, SATC has not been able to do much since March, due to Covid19. The NPS and ATC stopped trail work completely, but that is very gradually returning. Group hikes will also slowly return, with social distancing and when people feel ready.

Trails in the area have been busier than ever, as many new hikers are discovering the benefits of hiking. There has never been a time when fresh air and exercise felt better and was more important.

Until we get together again, stay healthy. I look forward to seeing everyone soon.
