American Trails presents the annual contest for photographs of designated National Recreation Trails across America. In celebration of these great trails we are presenting awards in several categories to highlight the diversity of NRTs, from backcountry trails to urban greenways. We thank the National Park Service, USDA Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and Federal Highway Administration for their enthusiastic support.
