|
| American Hiking Society Announces Best Trails in the West |
|
|
| Do you like to get outside to escape the crowds? Are you looking for "undiscovered" places to see waterfalls, lonely trails and towering peaks? |
|
|
| Many BLM lands are unique and wild, offering exceptional views, few people, and a rare opportunity to experience the "wild west" in the same way the pioneers did hundreds of years ago. But, because many of these fantastic landscapes aren't very well known, it's hard to find information about exceptional hikes on BLM lands. |
|
|
| Hikes feature midnight sun, knee-deep wildflowers, petroglyphs and the opportunity to experience traditional western lifestyles. Best yet, most of these hikes are part of a new system of BLM lands known as the National Landscape Conservation System – 26 million acres of the best places to experience the history and wild beauty of the west. |
