yourself the easy pleasures and improved physical condition a trail walk can provide.
CCC Walking Challenge
Return from Yellowstone National Park!
Anyone can join in and help us get back to Castleton before Thanksgiving. We are already half way home!
When we get there, we will have a celebration. This is how it works: walk as many days each week as you can,
then send your total miles, or the number of laps around our trail that you have completed to
[email protected]. Your walking or running can be done anywhere at any time. Everyone’s steps count
and gets us closer to our goal. The CCC Walking Trail is 1/3 of a mile, so 3x around equals 1 mile. We can do
