#SmilesForMiles Challenge tasks:
- Take a friend on a sunrise/sunset hike
- Share your favorite on-trail treat (Tip: leftover pie = great summit snack)
- Choreograph (and share) a silly trail dance
- Be a trail angel for the day and see how many smiles you can get from other hikers
- Plan a dream hike and take one step to make it a reality
- Head out on the trail with a new hiking buddy or group
Each task completed is one entry.
Good luck and HAPPY hiking everyone!
