National Hiking Day, or “National Take a Hike Day,” is celebrated every year on November 17. It’s all about embracing the great outdoors and inspiring people to discover nature’s beauty on foot. It’s also the perfect chance to soak up the physical and mental health perks that come with hiking.
We have great places to hike nearby!
