#OnThisDay 55 years ago, the National Trails System Act was signed!
This extraordinary act established four distinct types of trails:
1️⃣ National Scenic Trails: Breathtaking routes that showcase the beauty of our natural landscapes.
2️⃣ National Historic Trails: Journeys through history, following paths of significant events and people.
3️⃣ National Recreation Trails: Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts seeking adventure and fun.
4️⃣ Side and Connecting Trails: The links that tie this trail system together, making it accessible and comprehensive.
So, whether you're a nature lover, history buff, thrill-seeker, or just looking to explore, there's a trail waiting for you to discover and enjoy! Let’s keep making trails accessible to people of every age, interest, skill level, and physical ability 🗺️🥾
