National Trails Day - one week outdoor walk/run/jog challenge anyone?

Saturday, June 4 is National Trails Day in the U.S., but at VF it's International Trails Day because that's how we roll!

We have lots of walkers, runners and nature enthusiasts among us. I propose we have a challenge from June 4 and June 10 to get outdoors and enjoy your favorite trail, share what you love about it, and post a photo in your profile if you'd like to.

Who's with me?

Maybe this will be the push I need to get Cyric to the state park near us. I have this grand plan to go once a week but we haven't been there since winter.

Pat, I love your bear avatar!

Vantreesta, my son actually helped to rescue those cubs! Their Mom was shot, unfortunately. They are now safely at a sanctuary located in the forests up north with the intention of release.

Thanks for joining in everyone!

That is such a cool story, Pat! I'm sorry the mom died but thankful the cubs are safe.

I bought our new state park pass online last night. Just need to print out the temporary one so Cyric and I can go for our nature walk next week! I can't call this park a hike. It's flat and non-technical so not much different from walking in any of the city parks except it's bigger. If I'm feeling ambitious, adventurous and have time maybe we'll try the woods on the south side of town too. I've never been there in all these years of living here!
