Earth Day Volunteering: Pacific Crest Trail Clean-Up
DLK blog readers know that we are big fans of the Pacific Crest Trail (see Pacific Crest Trail | Not to Be Forgotten and Oregon: Best Trails for Hiking). This amazing trailway winds up the coast from Mexico all the way to Canada, giving hikers a variety of terrains, difficulties and views. The trail is accessible from nearly every major city up the coast, making it a great and inexpensive place to explore on a spring Saturday or as a week-long summer vacation.
As Earth Day passes and we all take a look at the things we can do to make the world a better and more environmentally friendly place, the Pacific Crest Trail Association asks that those that love the trail volunteer their time to help keep it clean and clear, particularly the path from northern Oregon to southern Washington. Volunteers can give some of their time any time between now and October. This is a great way for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts to give back to the beautiful mountains and forests that have done given so much to them.
