Find out how the annual Hiking Spree works, how to register, and a list of all the hiking trail locations
How it works
Hike at least eight trails. Participants may hike on their own, with a group, or through one of our guided hikes. Some sites have entrance and parking fees. Hikers requiring accessible trails may repeat any trail twice for credit, as long as the hikes occur on different dates.
You must complete the free registration for the 2026-2027 Hiking Spree to participate.
Once you are registered you can Hop on the Trail and start your path to earning your reward.
