Who's ready for spring!? We can't wait for warm, sunny days, dogwood and redbud trees in bloom and more time spent outside...and Spring Break, of course! It's the perfect season for some hiking - there's nothing like watching nature awaken from its winter sleep. Make sure you're prepared to hit the trails with your mud boots - spring can be messy out in the forest (or opt for less messy paved trails).
