Trails benefit everyone. Happier, healthier people build a better local economy and foster a great sense of community. Research is clear that building it brings people to it, so to speak.

“I could never do that!” Do what? Walk the streets of Paris on Bastille Day, climb up to the bells of Notre Dame, or watch fireworks over the Eiffel Tower. Terrorism abounds, I’m not fit enough, I’m afraid of heights, crowds are suffocating, etc. and so on. But I did (see pictures for proof). We could […]
