Circle June 7th on your calendar and get the hiking boots and backpacks ready to rock, National Trails Day is this weekend!

Outdoor enthusiasts hardly need a reason to take off to nearby woods, mountains or canyons, but increased awareness in the american Hiking Society and the millions of miles of trails around the United States is always a good thing.

This year the AHS is bringing exhibits, workshops and dedications to a number of trails throughout the nation. Everyone from equestrian groups, to cyclists, to hiking parties are involved, and some locations will have gear demos sponsored by your favorite suppliers.

For more info, and a list of the sponsored events by state, go to the American Hiking Society's website.

And if anyone gets out to any AHS events, drop by and let us know how it went!
