50/100/200 Hikes in 1 Year Badges
In 2022, Ganaraska Hiking Trail Association president, Frieda Baldwin, launched a Challenge for 2022 to encourage hikers to get out in nature, for their physical and mental health, and to explore new trail locations. As a goal and reward, a 100 Hikes in 1 Year badge was made available. As of 2023, we now also have a 50 Hikes in 1 Year and a 200 Hikes in 1 year badge.
Many hikers – not just Ganaraska Hiking Trail members – have taken up the challenge and are posting their sequentially numbered hikes on the Ganaraska Hiking Trail Facebook Group with the hashtag #50hikesin2023, #100hikesin2023, #200hikesin2023. Anyone can participate, and the hike can be anywhere, provided it is at least one hour in duration, and that the name of the trail or location is mentioned, accompanied by one or more nature photos.
Badges can be ordered using the Ganaraska Hiking Trail Merchandise Order Form.
There is still time in 2023 to take part in this challenge!
