A little different this week…
Since there is a US holiday this week (Thanksgiving), this week’s Get Out, Get Green is a little different. Not a lot of events so here’s some links to make your own outdoor outings.
Hiking Trails near US Metropolitan Areas: The Localhikes web site provides information on local hiking opportunities near both large and small metropolitan areas in the United States. You can find the perfect trail by selecting your metro area below to browse the available hikes, or by using the search feature to find the trails closest to your home or office. The hikes on this site were contributed by volunteer LocalHikes reporters from around the country.
With a name taken from the ultimate hiking companion (Good Old Raisins and Peanuts), GORP is a great resource for finding hikes, adventures, activities and guides. Everything from city guides, national parks to vacation destinations.
One Day Hikes is a good database to look for trails worldwide. You can search by region, country and state. The site offers descriptions of hikes with photos as well as helpful information like directions, location, trailhead, length, trail type, elevation change, duration, trail condition, features, climate, accommodation and trail notes.
Have fun!
