Saturday is National Trails Day. Experts offer tips, tricks and a reminder about ticks

National Trails Day is Saturday, and we might just have enough of a break in the rain to enjoy some time outside.

June 5 is a day of service and advocacy for hometown trails across the nation, per the American Hiking Society.

“Millions of people have found physical, mental, and emotional restoration on trails during the pandemic,” AmericanHiking.org stated. “Let’s return the favor and care for America’s magnificent trail system and ensure everyone in the U.S. can enjoy trails and natural areas.”

There are scores of trails to choose from across the state, and Missouri Department of Conservation Media Specialist Francis Skalicky previously told the News-Leader sometimes the trails less traveled are the way to go.
