National Trails Day – Palmetto Conservation Foundation

Join the Celebration on June 6, 2020!

For the first time in the Palmetto Trail’s history, we are launching a Virtual Hike in honor of National Trails Day on June 6, 2020. You can complete your hike any time leading up to National Trails Day (or even after), but we encourage you to share your experience on social media- and use the hashtags #NationalTrailsDay and #ConnectTheTrail!

Every National Trails Day registration will go directly towards helping us Connect the Palmetto Trail (YOUR Trail) through South Carolina! You simply select which passage you want to complete on your registration and then get moving!
Having trouble making it out to your selected Passage? No problem! You can even hike the same number of miles in your own neighborhood in honor of your favorite Palmetto Trail Passage!

Stay Hydrated
Without enough water, your body simply can’t perform as well. If you feel thirsty, your body is already becoming dehydrated. It is hard to drink too much water when you’re physically exerting yourself. Carry plenty of water and remember your pack will get lighter as the day wears on.

The Trail is meant to bring people together—young and old, rich and poor. It’s not just for hard core backpackers, but for families who want to get out into the woods.

WHEN BRINGING A PET on a hike, be sure to keep it on a leash and under control. Don’t forget to pack out pet waste as well.
