Today is National Get Outdoors Day, a new annual event to encourage healthy, active outdoor fun. There are many great events across the country today. Check out a listing at www.nationalgetoutdoorsday.org. We don’t expect you’ll find yourself up on Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park, but we hope you’re able to enjoy America’s great doors no matter where you are today!
