“Huzzah” is a colonial-era way of saying “hurrah,” but the antique word will soon take on new meaning at the Kings Mountain National Military Park. On Sept. 6, 2014, the park near Blacksburg, S.C., will host a festival to call attention to a group called the Huzzah Hiking Club.
Representatives from local outdoor attractions, along with hospital and public health professionals will be on hand to talk about activities that promote healthy lifestyles.
The hiking club is being organized in advance of the two-year celebration of the National Park Service’s 100th anniversary that begins in 2015. The family-friendly hiking project is part of a nationwide initiative by the park service to get people active outdoors.
Chief Ranger Chris Revels said the club will set challenge goals for members who can not only hike the national park’s trail system, but trail networks at two adjoining parks: the Kings Mountain State Park in South Carolina and Crowders Mountain State Park in North Carolina.

Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests are just out my door, so the content will focus on these areas, but let me know what you would like to see on the site.
