November 17 Take A Hike Day

Today day is November 17 Take A Hike Day observed annually.
Take a Hike Day was established by the American Hiking society to encourage groups of families and friends to get out into the wild and really get a taste of what it means to be away from it all again. Hiking is something that really helps to rebuild our connection with nature, and helps to maintain healthy hearts and bodies as well.
There is no lack of opportunity to take a hike, over 60,000 miles of trails in the National Trail System across the 50 USA.
The experience was powerful and fundamental. It seemed to me that it had always felt like this to be a human in the wild, and as long as the wild existed it would always feel this way.”
