Hit the trails!

During this weeklong holiday that encourages us to visit a park, consider exploring one with trails: Spring is the perfect time to take a hike, according to a survey conducted by Onetravel. The survey also reveals what inspires hikers to hit the trail: spotting animals and plants, getting in shape and meeting up with others. Looking for new trails? The Alltrails app (free for Android and iphone) features more than 100,000 trail maps, which you can search using a number of filters, while Hikingproject.com features trail reviews, photos and tips from other hikers.
