The 2022 Trustees of Reservations "Hike 125" challenge has arrived!

What is Hike Trustees?

Hike Trustees was originally conceived to celebrate our 125th anniversary in 2016. In the years since, we've watched it grow in exciting ways, and though 2020 found us adjusting to a new normal, we also welcomed new visitors seeking ways to stay mindful and connected. In response we've retooled Hike Trustees to be more flexible so that it fits in with your new routines and offers multiple ways to engage with nature and achieve your personal wellness goals.

It's healthy. It's free. It's fun. So… take a hike!

All you need to do is visit our properties and log your hiking miles on this site. Use one of the many fitness or GPS apps to track your mileage. Keep an eye on your progress on our leaderboards. And you can upload photos of your experiences on this site, too. We love to see them!

Where will #HikeTrustees take you?

Logging your miles is a rewarding way to chronicle your wellness journey, achieve personal goals, and push beyond your own expectations. Track your progress on the leaderboard with categories we hope will inspire you to propel further, and reach milestones for fun prizes.

Reaching New Tiers

Whether you hit the trails to find solace in nature, spend time with loved ones, or reach personal wellness goals, we're thrilled to celebrate all journeys. As added incentive to get outside and get moving, prizes will be awarded when you reach a new milestone.
  • Hike 25 miles, visit 25 sites, or do 25 hikes (whichever comes first), and earn a Hike Trustees bumper sticker.
  • Hike 50 miles, visit 50 sites, or do 50 hikes (whichever comes first), and earn a commemorative Hike Trustees 2021 patch. Receive additional patches at 100, 250, and 500 miles
I've made an effort with this program in 2018 & 2019, but COVID knocked it out for 2020.  In 2021, I just didn't visit Trustee Sites at all....  a chance for redemption?
