Caring for the oldest trails in the country
The White Mountain National Forest has some of the oldest and most used recreation trails in the country. Steep, rocky, and remote: the upkeep and continued use of these trails relies on nearly 200 years of continuous technical work from local trail clubs and trail enthusiasts. Give your time, your money, or your voice to a resource you love. Help us protect the trails, and preserve the legacy.
