Make Tracks! Go Hiking With Your Family
The National Wildlife Federation that brought us the Great American Backyard Campout is at it again. Now they have announced the Make Tracks! family trail weekend. It is the Columbus Day weekend of Oct 11-13. What a great way to get outside and be discoverers just like Columbus.
What is it?
Anytime Saturday, Sunday, or Monday — grab your kids, family members, and friends and Make Tracks! Have a favorite trail — great, you are all set! Or, take this time to discover a new trail with a new window on the world.
Haven’t hiked much, or ever? No problem, you don’t need to be an expert or in top physical condition to enjoy the outdoors. Have small children? Grab the stroller. Your outing can be as long or as short as you want. Be part of a growing movement in the U.S. to rediscover the outdoors – and realize the benefits of stepping away from the computer or TV or video game and breathing some fresh air while experiencing the wonders of nature.
If you would like more information you can go to their site. They also have a great tool to help you find trails near you.
