In honor of the 50th anniversary of the
Wilderness Act a formidable new challenge has been conceived by The Wilderness
Society and Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine.
The challenge: Hike more than 10 miles in a dozen wilderness
areas in the Southeast and document your experiences via an online submission form
to win the unbridled admiration of your hiking peers and possibly some cool
schwag. What more motivation do you need
for seeking out some of the Southeast’s wildest spaces?
