"'The number is not as big as we want it to be, but the fact its happening is huge,' said Brandi Horton from the Rails to Trails Conservancy. 'The administration is understanding in a way we've never seen before the role that active transportation has in helping people get around the places where they live.'"

Trails 1/3
July 3, 1983: My final twelve miles today were in Shenandoah. The trail inside the park was well-graded and almost completely cleared of overgrowth. I hiked through dignified old forests of stately trees, following the ridgeline for most of the distance. There were a number of good viewpoints.
So like a week ago got a dlc pack for a few games including and the games playing through them they feel super easy to full combo and Im honestly a little disappointed by that but I absolutely adore how they made the djmax characters parody falcom game box art like one of them is cold steel 1 and trails in the sky fc and ys origin are another. That alone was worth the price for me because its so cute and funny it fits their personalities well
You only see this vibrant emerald green in the forest for a fleeting few weeks in as new leaves sprout above and below. Springtime hike at the White Memorial Foundation, Morris, Connecticut. May 8, 2023, 6:09 PM.

May 24, 1983: The old mansion sports a fine, two-tiered veranda running the length of the house. I spent a good part of the night relaxing on the upstairs portion near our room, gazing out over the town. After the early 1900s, warm mineral baths lost their popularity and Hot Springs drifted into the quiet backwaters of time.

June 2, 1983: Beyond Carvers Gap, the trees rapidly began to thin out along the ridge crest. Near the top of Round Bald stood a small cluster of red pines.
New connector between Des Moines' High Trestle and Raccoon River Valley trails, colloquially known as the "High Raccoon"
"The half-mile-long High Trestle bridge is dramatically framed with a series of offset diagonals"
"Ever since the High Trestle Trail opened 13 years ago, there's been a gap between Woodward, its western terminus, and Perry..the last 2 miles of that 9-mile gap will disappear under an extension of the High Trestle Trail"
It's nice when even tame trails like this have a little spice.
Have you ever been within close earshot of a big tree falling That is LOUD. And clambering through a maze of fresh tree top branches blocking the trail can be quite fun.
Every minute on the trail is a good minute....except if it is too hot.

Of course I'd rather be in a wilderness, ideally off trail somewhere, setting up camp, racing the night, and threatening rain... But trails are always nice...unless it's too hot ..

I always think to myself as soon as my feet hit the trail: here I am. That continues with every step.

May 21, 1983: I did not start hiking until 10:00. I was waiting for a break in the weather in order to get a good look at the famous stretch of narrow trail which clings precariously to the cliffs on Charlies Bunion. It was about a half-mile from the shelter. Although the sky never did actually clear, the rain did stop, and the clouds lifted a bit off the ridge.

August 21, 1983: After a steep scramble up a rockslide, the trail broke out of the forest onto open rocks and ledges along the ridge crest with great views southward across the valley. The neighboring large towns of North Adams and Williamstown spread out below, covering a broad, relatively flat section of that river valley.

May 18, 1983: A short while later, we hit the nicest spot I had seen up to that point in the Smokies a grassy little rolling meadow atop a knob called Little Bald. Although we had not planned it, Dave and I wound up having lunch there and staying for about an hour.

June 10, 1983: From that highland plateau where I finally walked among the horses, the Appalachian Trail headed eastward, clawing up a cliff face to a rocky outcrop.

May 17, 1983: I finally made my way back to the shelter no rides, so it was another 3-mile walk in Fontana. You would not think this would bother me, with all the walking I am already doing on this trip, but my legs and the bloody stumps I use for feet have only so many miles in them on any given day, and I hoard these like a miser.
Sometimes even the shadows have tails.

May 13, 1983: Heading north from Springer Mountain, the tiny unincorporated community of Wesser, North Carolina is the first trail town through which the physically passes. This corner of Wesser is a narrow strip along the floor of the deep, heavily-wooded, steep-walled gorge which the Nantahala River has gouged through the mountains.
They're extending the B-Line up to 17th Street this summer, which is pretty great. Sure wish they'd work on the North Dunn path though!
