Field Notes
See the pictures, read on for the stories.
The latest Instagram pictures rotate through, along with links to their quick stories. But there’s so much more to tell. Some from our own experiences, others that are shared. From young to old, from local to international, the AdvenChair is making the rounds!
“The wild requires that we learn the terrain, nod to all the plants and animals and birds, ford the streams and cross the ridges, and tell a good story when we get home.”
—Gary Snyder
And the stories we can tell!
We love to share our news and yours. Have an AdvenChair story to tell?
AdvenChair rides front and center of the Sisters Trail Alliance Accessible Trails Project
When AdvenChair’s Geoff Babb was asked back in June of 2026 to join STA’s Accessible Trails Project, the S.T.A.R., or Sisters Trail Additions & Realignments project, had not yet been approved. Now the question of which trails they should be looking at for adaptive access grew even bigger since its approval in September. The STAR Project creates 17 miles of new trail, while formalizing 30 miles of existing routes, including the realignment of 12 miles of trails to improve wildlife habitat and protect natural resources. Overall, close to 43 miles of non-motorized trails are included in the proposed action. While 11 of those trails are for horses (which don’t play well with wheelchairs), the rest could be exciting new places to explore in an AdvenChair in Sisters Country of Central Oregon.
