National Take a Hike Day 2025

    hike
I've taken quite a few hikes in my day. Most of them were voluntary. Others not so much.

Today is National Take a Hike Day.

It is held each November 17.

The day is a motivation to get out there and walk a few trails. The opportunities are endless and the 60,000 miles of trails pretty much assure an endless supply of healthful activity and scenic wonder.

Local, state and National Parks support hiking events on this day. A good pair of shoes are essential. Snacks are also a wise option. It is my personal opinion that bringing a buddy will enhance the safety. So get on out there and enjoy the fresh air, scenery, and partake of the exercise as well ! Those majestic vistas not withstanding it is simply good for the body and soul to get out there and do a bit of walkabout on the domestic front. There is a lot to offer if you care to partake.
