Our partners at REI Westbrook are helping us kick-off this year’s Summer Trail Challenge!

Stop by the store to grab your Trail Challenge Passport, connect with fellow hikers, and get inspired for the season ahead. Our staff will be on hand to walk you through each featured preserve, highlighting what makes them special—from riverside ecosystems and hidden gems close to town to thoughtfully stewarded trails that make getting outside more accessible for everyone. You’ll also learn about this year’s prizes and have the opportunity to sign up for a guided hike to check off your first destination.

Stick around after the kickoff for a free Hiking Basics class hosted by REI. You’ll learn essential prep tips, Leave No Trace practices, and practical skills to help you get the most out of every mile. If interested in attending the class, please sign up at rei.com/events.
