Take the Challenge!
EEA is encouraging all Georgians (and our friends elsewhere) to join the Hike GA Challenge! The challenge is simple: hike, walk, jog, bike, run, paddle, or otherwise move your body and explore the great outdoors. Whether you take in the sights at a “new to you” state park, the Appalachian Trail, Atlanta’s Beltline, the Columbus Riverwalk, the Augusta Canal, or simply around your own block, EEA hopes to inspire you to enjoy nature with friends and family this April! Participants pledge to move 30, 60, or 90 miles (or whatever number motivates you!) during the month of April 2022, and we hope that you will share your mileage and the beauty that you encounter in the Hike GA Facebook group or on Instagram. #EEAHikeGA22 |
