SNP celebrates National Trails Day

Shenandoah National Park is celebrating National Trails Day today.

The annual event, hosted by the American Hiking Society, celebrates not only national scenic and historic trails, but all trails on public lands.

SNP will welcome guests to the visitor center at Big Meadows to share information about what they do.

If you are interested in volunteer opportunities, head to the visitor center to get involved with a small trail clean up and a fun project.

RSVP is required by contacting corrina_wendel@nps.gov.

Guests are also welcome to join Ranger Karl on a hike starting at the Stony Man parking lot at 10 am.

Ranger Karl will have interesting facts along the 3.4 mile hike which will take approximately 2.5 hours.

No RSVP is needed for the hike.
