“Paths are the habits of a landscape. …Paths connect. This is their first duty and their chief reason for being. They relate places in a literal sense, and by extension they relate people.” - Robert MacFarlane

Today we’re celebrating our winter trails, the passages that weave us through some of the most beautiful places on earth. Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in southern Oregon offers a chance to explore pieces of the Pacific Crest Trail, and Buck Prairie Winter Trail System offers ski trails and even dog-friendly opportunities. Winter brings such magic and the trails bring the possibility. What winter trails do you enjoy exploring? Photo by Bob Wick, Bureau of Land Management (@mypubliclands).
