Get Outside, Join a Local Event, and Take the #NationalTrailsDay Pledge

What’s National Trails Day? It’s a day to connect with friends and family, head outside, and leave our trails better than you found them. That’s our kind of day!

Each year, millions of people all across the country unite on the first Saturday in June in celebration of American Hiking Society’s National Trails Day®. On June 4, we invite you to mobilize your community of outdoor enthusiasts and join the nationwide movement to improve some of the outdoor spaces we treasure most.

There’s something magical about being in nature: the fresh air, the singing birds, the warm sunshine. Whether you’re hiking in the woods or strolling around your neighborhood park—there’s nothing quite like exploring the outdoors. But today, trails and public spaces are in dire need of our help—and not everyone has access to or feels welcome in these places that calm and inspire so many of us. National Trails Day® is the perfect opportunity to get out there with the people you love, give back to the trails that bring us together, and make sure no one is left out.
