Track miles to protect parks

Sugar Pine Point State Park | Katherine E. Hill

Join Sierra State Parks Foundation in its annual fundraiser Hike For Parks. Until Aug. 25, the foundation is asking the community to get outside and walk/run/hike to help reach a goal of 1,500 collective miles from at least 150 hikers.

The registration levels are: $50 Park Keeper, which includes a one-year membership to the Foundation; $35 Park Trekker, which includes certificate of completion and an “I love parks!” sticker; $20 Park Ranger; and $10 Future Park Ranger for ages 12 and younger. The participation fee will go toward funding the local state parks.

The hiker who racks the most miles will win the grand prize of a Tahoe State Park Annual Pass, a $75 value. | Register charityfootprints.com
