Saturday is National Trails Day 2008
Go hiking this Saturday! June 7 is National Trails Day 2008, and in celebration, nearly 1,000 outdoorsy events are happening around the country.
The day's activities aren't limited to hiking; you can go biking, horseback riding or paddling too -- though what you do may be limited a bit by the types of events that are planned in your area. Check the list of California events to find the one nearest you.
Irvine seems to have the most going on, with a hike, a bike ride, exhibits, workshops, and other activities happening over this weekend. If you'd rather get your hands dirty prettying up hiking trails, head up to San Fernando to help the USDA Forest Service with trail maintenance and construction.
National Trails Day is organized by the American Hiking Society, self-described as "the only national organization dedicated to promoting and protecting hiking trails, their surrounding natural areas and the hiking experience."
