Natchez Trace Parkway, Mississippi, United States

If your screen time has been winning lately, today is a good excuse to change that—we suggest hiking. While National Trails Day was created in 1993 by the American Hiking Society in the United States, Canadians can easily use it as a reason to head outdoors too. From mountain routes in the Rockies to forest trails and coastal paths, Canada has plenty of places worth swapping notifications for fresh air.
