Are you ready for National Trails Day®? Did you know the United States celebrates such an event? Well, we do! Since 1993, the first Saturday of every June is known as National Trails Day, inspiring the public and trail enthusiasts nationwide to seek out, discover, learn about, and celebrate America's trail system. And this Saturday, June 4th, marks the 18th annual National Trails Day!
National Trails Day evolved from the 1987 report of President Ronald Reagan's President's Commission on Americans Outdoors. The report recommended that Americans should be able to walk out their front doors and within 15 minutes, be on trails that take them through their cities or towns and bring them back without retracing any steps. The recommendation, also known as Trails for All Americans, inevitably motivated several public and private parties to join the American Hiking Society in launching National Trails Day in 1993.
Kansas City's North Face Store is sponsoring a hike through the Parkville Nature Sanctuary from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m., tomorrow, June 4th.
The Baxyard is going to drive north and see what this is all about. Very excited. I didn't know a Nature Sanctuary existed in Parkville.
See you outdoors!
