Hiking Week celebration starts tomorrow

Pennsylvania's seventh annual statewide Hiking Week celebration begins tomorrow and runs through June 1.

"This increasingly popular event continues to meet its 100-hike goal, while providing activities for all ages and abilities," said Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Michael DiBerardinis.

Special events planned by DCNR and the Keystone Trails Association will take place in parks, forests, cities and towns across the state. All of the scheduled hikes have leaders and include a variety of lengths and terrain.

A list of planned hikes can be found at www.dcnr.state.pa.us/info/hikingweek. For Hiking Week details and schedules, as well as information on hiking clubs across the state, visit www.KTA-Hike.org.
