| National Trails Day!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  National Trails Day is the American Hiking Society's signature trail awareness program and the date this year is set for June 5th. National Trails Day is to inspire the public to get out and celebrate, discover and learn about trails nationwide. The Smoky Mountain Hiking Club will utilize the day as a trail repair and construction event. The Park is currently recruiting volunteers for two of the projects that are supported through the National Park Foundation and the Trails Forever Program. They are the Crooked Arm Ridge Trail on the Tennessee side of the Park near Cades Cove and the Grassy Branch Trail on the North Carolina side of the Park near Cherokee. On the Crooked Arm Ridge Trail volunteers will work to improve the trail by installing waterbars, maintaining existing drainage structures, removing social trails and defining the trail tread. On the Grassy Branch Trail volunteers will work to dig a new section of trail that is permanently being relocated.
To help out with either of these projects contact the Trails & Facilities Volunteer Coordinator, Christine Hoyer, at 828-497-1949. You will then be provided with further project and trailhead information.
