How many hours this week were you inside? How many hours were you sitting in a chair at a desk? How many times did you look at a computer, TV, phone or some other screen? How many bags of chips, ice cream cones, and candy bars did you eat?
Take the Transit & Trails Challenge this weekend and get outside! Then we can ask… how many miles did you walk? How many vistas did you see? How many trees did you find shade or shelter under? How many birds did you hear? How many times did you laugh? How many times were your surprised?
Use Transit & Trails to get moving and get outside. Afterwards, tell us a story about your time out in nature. Like this one:
And enter to win!
Two people will be randomly selected to win $100 gift cards from REI. That’s right! To win, you must:

- Write a story on the Transit & Trails website (on the page of the trip or trailhead or campground you went to)
