This was my first time participating, but it will not be the last. For this year&#8217;s event, I wanted to host it at a location that I was familiar with, but the attendees weren&#8217;t. Almost everyone who hikes or not knows about Eaton Canyon Falls, that is why it&#8217;s a popular trail. I prepared to host 35 individuals on this day hike, who the majority have never even heard of Eaton Canyon Natural Area Park and Nature Center in Pasadena, CA. Let alone that there was a waterfall at the end of the trail, but as the time approached for the celebration of our trails the attendance numbers began to dwindle which is usually common when an individual or group hosts an event such as this. By the time National Trails Day\u00ae arrived, we had six total attendees but it didn&#8217;t stop us from enjoying this beautiful gem. The seven of us embarked on a fun filled morning, identifying the local fauna and flora, treading through the brisk water from the waterfall, making memories and celebrating such a significant day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1421\" data-id=\"51576\" src=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-11-800x1421.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-11-800x1421.jpg 800w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-11-550x977.jpg 550w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-11-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-11.jpg 887w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photos courtesy of Jonathon Flores<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1425\" data-id=\"51574\" src=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-9-800x1425.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-9-800x1425.jpg 800w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-9-550x979.jpg 550w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-9-863x1536.jpg 863w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-9.jpg 885w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1423\" data-id=\"51577\" src=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-12-800x1423.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-12-800x1423.jpg 800w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-12-550x978.jpg 550w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-12-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jonathon-flores-12.jpg 886w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The day was gloomy, with a trail that was heavily trafficked, but arriving to the falls and seeing it cascade over the rock face into the plunge pool below. To our advantage, not many people were getting into the water, they were very much trying to avoid from the several water crossings to the waterfall and pool itself. Then again the temperature was a high of 63 degrees and the water was under 40 degrees, but that wasn&#8217;t going to stop us. We walked through the crystal clear pool to the waterfall and let it wash over us as if it was a hot summers day. The yelps and laughs from everyone getting their turn under the waterfall was what this day was all about. Not only celebrating the outdoors and National Trails Day\u00ae, but living life and taking in all that nature had to offer us that day. I managed to pick up some trash at the falls, not so much on trail: from empty plastic water bottles, socks that were left behind, beer bottles, soda cans and other snack wrappers, in total it was about 23 lbs all together. Thank you again American Hiking Society for not only the opportunity to be a NextGen Trail Leader, but for also giving us this opportunity to educate and show others around our local trails for National Trails Day\u00ae 2024! <em>(Written by Jonathon)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" data-id=\"51582\" src=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/natalie-ntd-5-800x1067.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/natalie-ntd-5-800x1067.png 800w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/natalie-ntd-5-550x733.png 550w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/natalie-ntd-5-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/natalie-ntd-5-1536x2048.png 1536w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/natalie-ntd-5-1920x2560.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" data-id=\"51583\" src=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/natalie-ntd-7-800x1067.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/natalie-ntd-7-800x1067.png 800w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/natalie-ntd-7-550x733.png 550w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/natalie-ntd-7-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/natalie-ntd-7-1536x2048.png 1536w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/natalie-ntd-7-1920x2560.png 1920w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/natalie-ntd-7.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-natalie-matias-meet-natalie\">Natalie Matias <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C4tPGydNwUu\/?hl=en\">Meet Natalie!<\/a>)<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I really enjoyed celebrating National Trails Day\u00ae and getting to connect with other queer folks in the Bay Area.

I was quite surprised at how many people came, some of the comments we heard were that it was a good initiative, and that they hope that we continue doing these types of events, and that keeping the trails clean is very important to have healthy and beautiful mountains. Im grateful to American Hiking Society for supporting me in this event.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-9 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"51562\" src=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-3-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-3-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-3-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photos courtesy of Blanca Moreno<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"51589\" src=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-4-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-4-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-4-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-4.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"51588\" src=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-8-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-8-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-8-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-8-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/blanca-hikingenutah-8.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AHS&#8217;s NextGen Trail Leaders hosted events in their communities to give back to local trails in celebration of National Trails Day\u00ae!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":78,"featured_media":51535,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[650],"tags":[716,820],"class_list":["post-51534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-national-trails-day-1","tag-nextgen"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.3 (Yoast SEO v26.9) -
