Congratulations, hikers! What’s Next? 

Monday, October 27th, is the last day to complete and record your final hikes. We hope these past eight weeks have empowered you to enjoy more time outdoors and in nature this fall — individually, with friends, or as a family. 

If you went on six (or more) hikes from September 1 – October 27, you have earned a Take a Hike! Trail Blaze Award! If it is your first challenge, you have earned a walking stick with a commemorative medallion. And if you’ve completed the challenge before, you have earned a commemorative pin or medallion.
