Where did you hike on National Trails Day?

  • Walking through the snow, searching for rabbit footprints.
  • Strolling beside a stream, turning over stones and hoping to find a salamander.
  • Hiking up a strenuous series of switchbacks in pursuit of a fantastic view of the valley.

These are just a few of the adventures awaiting you on the many hiking trails in your area!  Last weekend, we celebrated National Trails Day, so I headed to my favorite place – Sky Meadows State Park.  I found folks celebrating the day many different ways.  I ran into plenty of hikers enjoying the views and the beautiful woodlands:

I found a trail crew updating the “blazes” that help hikers find their way on the trail:

Sky Meadows’ trails aren’t just for hiking!  Folks were out enjoying the biking and horseback trails too:

So much to do, so little time!  I guess we’ll have to celebrate the trails on more than one day.  Where are you headed for your next hike?
