It's only May, but it's felt like July in my neck of the woods. Warm, sultry days have made me long to be outdoors working in my garden or maybe going for a hike. The 15th annual National Trails Day is celebrated today -- so if you're like me and considering a good hike, today's the day!
Hiking offers a diversion from your normal routine. It's a chance to escape to nature and slough off the stress of your work week. A weight-bearing and aerobic exercise, it offers numerous benefits for cardiovascular health, weight maintenance, and bone health.
There are over 1000 National Trails Day events to choose from and they're being held in all 50 states. I did a quick search in my state and found 15 separate events ranging from education to preservation to group hikes. In addition to all the health benefits of hiking, National Trails Day is a perfect opportunity to get involved and meet other people with similar interests.
