This Saturday, June 5th is National Trails Day! Millions of people have found physical, mental, and emotional restoration on trails during the pandemic. Let’s return the favor and care for America’s magnificent trail system and ensure everyone in the U.S. can enjoy trails and natural areas.
With hundreds of miles of trails across the Land of Enchantment, we’d like to encourage everyone to pick just one mile of trail and show it some love by picking up trash; sharing the trail with someone new to the outdoors why trails are important to you; or just taking a stroll and enjoying what the trail has to offer.
Here are some ways you can get engaged in your area:
