Description
Summary:Recreational trails offer outdoor enthusiasts an enjoyable way to view and experience an outdoor setting (Xiang, 1996). Trails provide opportunities to hike, bike, run, ride All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), and horseback ride. In 2011, nearly 50 percent of Americans participated in one of these activities, indicating a growing trend in outdoor recreation (Outdoor Foundation, 2012). For the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), trails also provide a venue for environmental education, development of new skills, character development, and fellowship (BSA - Philmont, 2013).
