It’s a neat program the encourages people to get out and hike and record their mileage. You can get a cool pin for hiking 100, 250 and 500 miles! Check out the video to learn important information about being prepared for day hiking.

There will be more videos to come covering lots of things you need to know for a day on the trail.
