National Trails Day: How Will You Celebrate?

National Trails Day is a celebration of trails that evolved from the report of President Ronald Reagan's President's Commission on Americans Outdoors. In 1987, the report recommended that all Americans be able to go out their front door and within fifteen minutes, be on trails that wind through their cities and bring them back without retracing steps. The recommendation, dubbed, Trails for all Americans, became the impetus behind several public and private parties joining the American Hiking Society in launching National Trails Day in 1993.

Trails do not just magically appear for our enjoyment; it takes many hours of planning, labor, and negotiating to develop them. National Trails Day, the only nationwide celebration of trails, increases awareness about trails and celebrates the hard work and support of many people, partners--including volunteers, land agencies, and other outdoor minded businesses. It is also a day to introduce people to the many joys and benefits of trails.
