National Trails Day

If you’ve never heard of it, don’t worry, I hadn’t until about a month ago. But apparently the American Hiking Society hosts a National Trails Day the first Saturday of every June.  This year it’s Saturday, June 1st, 2013. 

The idea behind National Trails Day is to get out and appreciate the trails near you. You can do that by going on a hike, or participating in the numerous volunteer efforts planned for the day. There are events scheduled in every state, but if you don’t see something you like, you could always host your own.

Last year was the twentieth anniversary of National Trails Day, and I hope it continues for many more years to come.

Will you be hiking that day? If so happy trails to you!
