NATIONAL TRAILS DAY: What comes to mind when I say 
state parks? 03 ["...hiking and trails."] ... Good answer, since 
National Trails Day is this week ... on Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas

Saturday June 6th is National Trails Day. And as it 
happens, hiking is a popular activity at Texas State Parks.

05 -- Our trails really give people an opportunity to experience 
everything about state parks.

Thomas Wilhelm works with state parks, and says hikers 
and walkers of all abilities have the unique opportunity to 
experience nature up close and personal on the trails 
during National Trails Day, June 6th and every day. 

12 -- We have hikes from beginner level paved hikes all the way to 
very difficult hikes. So, regardless of your skills or your interests - 
there's a trail that's perfect for you [in a state park].
 
This includes equestrian trails and ADA Accessible trails. 
The trails in Texas State Parks offer hikers opportunities 
to experience native flora and fauna, as well as solitude, 
peace and calm. And, for those who like to exercise their 
brain along with their bodies...

15 -- There's also opportunities with interpretive hikes that have 
panels along the way that explain what's happening. So, you're 
either learning something about nature or about history -- or 
whatever it may be. So it's both a relaxing experience or an 
enlightening experience.

Celebrate National Trails Day June 6th by finding a trail 
that's just right for you at texasstateparks.org.
