What are you doing for National Trails Day?

I'll be walking along a northern california beach with a large group of friends.

Post pictures!

Well? Who went hiking?

I was at Point Reyes.

I went skiing, though we did hike up to and back down from the snow:

I took an urban hike right in my hometown. Still managed to see deer, squirrel, snake, and birds. Not a very exotic location but the morning was still well spent. It was neat to get a different perspective of very familiar areas.

Utterly by coincidence, the Barr Trail up Pikes Peak.

We joined in the ribbon cutting ceremony of a new connector trail at Jefferson Memmorial Forest. There was a presentation to a volunteer of 40 years who broke down into tears after he realized they named the new trail after him, the "Yost" ridge connector. Its a short 1.2 mile trail and quite easy at that, but it was just a really nice event that makes you feel good inside. The city of Louisville won a $5,000 government grant to assist in the building of this new trail. This new trail allows access to all other trails in the forest from the welcome center.

My roomate Mike and I went for an overnight backpacking trip into the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness.
