Get Outdoors and Find a Trail

Today is National Get Out Doors Day.

To celebrate, the U.S. Forest Service will waive the day-use fees associated with many recreation sites or amenities on national forests nationwide . Just think of all the trails you can explore, and it won’t cost you a dime.

So if $ was an excuse to keep you away from the great outdoors, now’s your chance to throw caution to the wind and visit one of your national forests.

See you there!!

Celebrate National Trails Day

trails are for everyone

Today is National Trails Day! Since 1993, we have celebrated the first Saturday in June as National Trails Day.

If it was up to me, this day would trump every other holiday. We’d launch fireworks, open presents, eat turkey, and hide trail eggs. But it’s not up to me, so how about I just provide you with some National Trail day links instead of all that other aforementioned stuff:

These are but a few of the awesome organizations celebrating National Trails Day.
But you can have the mostest bestest National Trails Day of them all. Just pack up your colorful eggs, tryptophanic turkey, obnoxious fireworks, and pretty presents & hit the trail.
Don’t forget to let us know how you celebrated National Trails Day!
