Video Archive: Paul Hlina on the Superior Hiking Trail in 1995
With a fused spine and partially paralyzed legs, Paul Hlina hiked the entire Superior Hiking Trail on crutches in 1995. He is credited as the first person to through-hike the trail, which at the time spanned almost 200 miles. It’s about a 300-mile trail today.
Clearly not paralyzed. Multiple sclerosis?
I have updated the text to note Hlina was partially paralyzed. The ANC report refers to him as paralyzed, but clearly he had some mobility in his legs.
