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.
Register
Free registration for the 2025-2026 Hiking Spree must be completed to participate.
