Get Your Walking/Cycling Shoes On
If you’re on the Big Island, come out for the Trek the Trail `Ohana Fun Day on Sept. 16, 10 AM – 2 PM. The Trek the Trails Project is a series of events being held at Hilo Bayfront Trails, the Waimea Greenway and Trails, and Queen’s Lei in Kona in order to encourage the use of these trails. These three trails have been deemed important by the county for their central locations connecting housing, education and business centers, as well as for their accessibility for both pedestrians and cyclists.
