Today is National Trails Day, so get out and enjoy any of our wonderful local trails!

Many trails have been built on old railroad beds. What a wonderful and amazing project this is! The book here came out in 2001 so you might want to look for a newer edition with more trails. Washington's Rail-Trails: Walking, Running, Bicycling, In-line Skating, Horseback Riding, by Fred Wert tells about the history of the program, who can use the trails, trail etiquette and so on. There are locations for the trails and directions on how to get to the trail head. Just a wonderful guide book. :-)

For a global walking experience read Walking the World's Most Exceptional Trails, by Eloise Napier. I loved the introduction for this book where the author explains that you don't have to be a hard core walker to enjoy these walks, 'softies' are most welcome! She then goes on to share pictures, descriptions, and advice on walking what are some incredibly beautiful trails around the world.

Go outside and play!
