Saturday is National Trails Day, and now is the perfect time to explore the nearly 60,000 miles of trails that honor our country's diverse landscape and history. In 1968, President Lyndon Johnson signed the National Trails System Act and officially designated the Appalachian and Pacific Crest National Scenic Trails. Today, there are 11 national scenic trails, 19 national historic trails, and over 1,200 national recreation trails throughout the country that link historic sites, wildlife refuges, national parks, national forests, and wilderness areas. These trails provide the public with vital access to the outdoors. Whether you like to walk, hike, ride horseback, or bicycle, there is a trail for you. So lace up the shoes, invite some friends, and #FindYourWay on these and other great trails. Have fun, Interior Department www.instagram.com/USInterior |
