This year we are celebrating National Trails Day with a trail rehab project in the park! This nationwide
holiday occurs every year on the first Saturday of June. The day is devoted to
celebrating and promoting the extensive trail systems throughout the country. Trails
allow us access to the natural world for recreation, education, solitude and inspiration.
They also give us an opportunity to support both good physical and mental
health by giving us heart pumping exercise, relieving our stresses and
awakening our senses.
On Saturday June 7th, Grand Teton will celebrate National
Trails Day by leading a group of volunteers in a trail maintenance project in
Grand Teton National Park. Help maintain and upkeep GTNP’s 242 miles of
exceptional trails for use well into the future. This is a great way for community members and Foundation friends to show their passion for the park with hands-on support!

the park, digging up some trail dust, and celebrating this amazing resource
with you!
