As the days get shorter and we welcome back the rain with open arms and zipped jackets, we smile while reflecting on another great summer spent outdoors!
We’ve been so thrilled to share the beauty of America’s trails in need. Thanks to your votes, we’re giving over $500,000 to care for and increase access to outdoor spaces around the nation.
The gorgeous trail photos featured in our campaign would not be possible without contributions from the photographers credited below. Note: Many of our contributors requested we credit the trails they photographed instead of themselves.
