The American Hiking Society is promoting National Trails Day tomorrow and they’ve set up a website to help you find hiking events in your area. Even if you aren’t able to make it out to an official event, here are a couple ideas for celebrating trails tomorrow:

1. Volunteer at your local trail. Local hiking and biking groups around the country are hosting trail work parties this weekend but you can also help out just by clearing deadfall on the trails as you hike. Of course check applicable regulations and never remove anything living from the trail.

2. Take a child or beginning hiker on a trail. Getting more folks interested in hiking leads to stronger advocacy for new and improved natural areas for recreation. Way more fun that doing trail work but just as important

What are your plans for National Trails Day?
