There’s something special about hitting the trail—the crunch of gravel under your boots, the smell of pine in the air, and that moment when you stop to soak in a stunning Summit County view. National Trails Day is your perfect excuse to get out there and do just that.

Every year on the first Saturday in June, trail lovers across the country come together to celebrate the places that help us reconnect—with nature, with each other, and with ourselves.
