National Trails Day
On the first Saturday in June, National Trails Day is celebrated. It was started by the American Hiking Society, a Maryland-based nonprofit, in the 1970s to encourage Americans to get out and enjoy America's beauty. And, over the years, I've tried to do the same with my family and friends. Below are a sample of the many hikes, these showing many hikes to mountaintops (14ers in Colorado and Yosemite Valley peaks), from the past 10+ years.
