National Trails Day is observed in the United States every year on the first Saturday of June. Launched by the American Hiking Society in 1993, this holiday brings together hiking enthusiasts to celebrate and promote the importance of hiking trails. Participants engage in activities such as exploring local trails, volunteering for trail maintenance, and appreciating the efforts of those who keep trails clean and safe. The event is officially supported by federal partners, including the United States Forest Service and the National Park Service. The holiday aims to foster a sense of community among outdoor lovers and highlight the need for local support to maintain trails. The American Hiking Society, founded in 1976, emphasizes values of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion within the hiking community.
