National Trails Day was established by the American Hiking Society in 1993 and occurs annually on the first Saturday in June. It brings together federal land managers, partners, and volunteers to celebrate trails and accomplish trail stewardship projects to ensure they are safe, well-maintained, easy-to-follow and accessible.
Additionally, the Forest Service is designating June 6, 2026, as an additional recreation Fee-Free Day to the 2026 calendar to celebrate National Trails Day, meaning all standard amenity recreation sites on Forest Service lands will be at no cost to the public. For all 2026 Fee-Free Days on National Forest System lands and information, please visit the Forest Service website. Fee Free Days applies only to standard amenity recreation fees and does not waive expanded amenity fees, concessionaire charges, reservation fees, special recreation permit fees, or third-party costs unless separately authorized.
“National Trails Day is an opportunity for all of us to celebrate the expansive trail system on our national forests and grasslands that provide access to nature and recreation opportunities,” said Forest and Grassland Supervisor Ryan Nehl. “Whether you are participating in trail stewardship across the Pike-San Isabel National Forests & Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands or just connecting with nature and your community, we hope to see you out there.”
