The Dirty Dozen Wilderness Challenge

In honor of the 50^th 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?
