In this video, Elder Trekker heads to the Pilot Knob Preservation Site in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, for a walk through this historic site. I hope this short walk inspires you to visit this site for yourself and to learn more about the role of Pilot Knob (or Oheyawahi to the Dakota people) in both Native American and Minnesota history. The mission of Elder Trekker is to encourage seniors to remain both physically and mentally active as they age by walking trails like this one.

Note:
Although brisk walking is safe for most people, it’s always a good idea to check with a doctor before you begin any exercise program. This is especially true if you haven’t exercised for a while. See this article from the Mayo Clinic for more information about exercise and when to see a doctor: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/in-depth/exercise/art-20047414.
