US and UK Expand Outdoor Recreation Opportunities

Communities across the United States and the UK are expanding outdoor recreation opportunities in summer 2024, encouraging activities like hiking, local travel, and nature exploration. US regions including New Bedford, Franklin, Barrow, Charlestown, Greendale, Peters, and Stillwater now offer diverse trails ranging from ADA-accessible boardwalks to challenging forest hikes and waterfall routes. In California, areas such as San Anselmo and Santa Cruz provide easy access to coastal adventures and state parks ideal for spontaneous getaways. In the UK, the South West Coast Path in Devon has gained renewed popularity, partly due to the film adaptation of 'The Salt Path', drawing visitors to its dramatic cliffside walks and historic seaside towns. These destinations promote physical health, adventure, and appreciation of local culture and scenery. Visitors are advised to check trail conditions and closures before heading out.
