Active Travel: National Trails Day

Instead of filling up the car for your next trip, spend that gas money on an expensive pair of hiking boots and head outside for National Trails Day on June 7.

Sponsored by The American Hiking Society, the day seeks to share the fun of hiking with newbies through gear demonstrations, workshops and educational exhibits. The group has put together an interactive map, so you can easily figure out what's going on near you. Just a quick look reveals new trails to explore, dedications and events and opportunities to volunteer to improve your favorite trail.

Even if you're not that into hiking, the day is sponsored by a bunch of outdoorsy companies, so you can probably score some free swag just for showing up!
