🌲 National Trails Day is Saturday, June 6, from 9 a.m.–1 p.m.! 🥾
Join us as we work on the Taggart Lake Trail network to remove social trails near the lake, perform trail maintenance, and widen the trail corridor to improve accessibility. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or joining us for the first time, we'd love to have your help caring for the trails we all enjoy.
It’s also a great time to remember what it means to be a trail steward:
🥾 Respect the landscape: Stay on designated trails, don't short-cut, and give wildlife plenty of space.
🥾 Give back: Join trail cleanups and maintenance projects like our June 6 volunteer event.
🥾 Keep it clean: Pack out all trash, leftover snacks, and yes—even that banana peel.
🥾 Prevent damage before it starts: Brush off boots before and after hiking to help stop the spread of invasive species.
🥾 Be welcoming: Help make using trails a positive experience for everyone, from first-time hikers to lifelong explorers.
Whether you're hiking in Grand Teton or your local park, you can be a steward. Caring for our trails today helps ensure they're here for future generations to enjoy. If you'd like to join us, contact Angela Timby at angela_timby@nps.gov or (307) 739-3379 for more information.
