Tahoe rim trail, Carson Valley Trails, Visit Carson City Hikes, Carson Pass Hikes, Best Easy Hikes Lake Tahoe - Introduce someone you know to your favorite trail – One of the core part of the American Hiking Society’s mission and reason for a National Trail Day is the
embracing of preserving a future for the next generation. So maybe one of the best ideas is to grab a neighbor, a local youth, or a friend you know would enjoy a day on the trail and go explore together.

What is great about that is that you could pick just about anywhere on the map and with in 10 miles of that point probably find a trail that would welcome you to come hike, improve and preserve for the next generation.
