What better time to get out and enjoy the trails in our country than today, National Trails Day? This day is put on by the American Hiking Society in order to bring about awareness of the nations hiking trails as well as a greater awareness and love of nature and the outdoors.
Specifically, National Trails Day is a celebration of the best kind, brought about as a result of report of President Reagan's Commission on Americans Outdoors. This report, written in 1987, made it very clear that every American deserved and should be able to easily access nature and that each American should be able to step outside their door and get to a trail within 15 minutes walk from their home. It also stated that each and every American should be able to follow that trail throughout their city and circle around to return home without retracing their steps at all.
