Fit-History Hikes

About Fit-History Hikes

Fit-History Hikes cover a lot of ground, and a lot of history! These Ranger-led hikes are usually between 2 to 4 miles, with an average pace of 2 miles per hour, including short stops for rest and history. Fit History Hikes began in 2015 as a part of an initiative to combine health and history ahead of the National Park Service Centennial. When attending any Fit-History program, wear sturdy shoes, bring plenty of water, and pack a snack. Insect repellant and long pants are recommended.
