The National Trails System invites your family to #sParkCuriosity by completing the national trails’ Junior Ranger Programs ! As Junior Rangers, children can explore some of the national scenic and historic trails that make up the National Trails System, spanning across all 50 states and more than 55,000 miles. Junior Rangers will become immersed in these nationally designated trails, which highlight majestic landscapes across the country and routes of exploration, migration, struggle, commerce, and military expeditions with defining moments in history.
Although more than 230 million people live within an hour’s drive of a national trail, most national trail Junior Ranger Programs are available to download, print, and complete from home. Simply email a photo of your completed book to the respective trail and they will mail you your exclusive Junior Ranger badge!
