PICS: Chuck Norris (85) hikes up Lassen Peak

CapeTalk's Clarence Ford speaks to Barbara Friedman about trending online stories.

Listen below:

At 85 years old, Chuck Norris recently hiked Lassen Peak, which stands at about 10,457 feet.

Norris reflected on the mountain’s recovery from the 2021 California Dixie Fire, noting the changes in the landscape, marking the hike as both a celebration of fitness and a sign of his enduring adventurous spirit.

Norris shared the moment on Instagram with the caption: "What a day! I had the pleasure of hiking Lassen Peak once again. While it was heartbreaking to see the damage left behind by the 2021 Dixie Fire, the park’s beauty still shines through. Walking those trails brought back so many wonderful memories. My wife grew up around these parts, and I’ll always be grateful she introduced me to such magnificent sights."

"He looks incredible," says Friedman.

Of course, Norris fans rushed to the comments section of the post for some quintessential Walker, Texas Ranger humour that got us chuckling:

"Chuck Norris didn't go over the mountain; the mountain moved out of the way for Chuck Norris."

"Chuck Norris doesn't carry a bear spray; the bear carries a Chuck spray."

"Chuck doesn't use any hiking trails; the trees move out of his way when he's walking."

"When Chuck Norris goes on a hike, the hill sweats."

Your turn.
