The Barefoot Trail


In Flagstaff Arizona, there is a fun walking trail dedicated to one thing. Walking on it barefoot. While this is not exactly a new trend, this is the first of it's kind in an American state. The idea for this came from founder Leah Williams. She experienced a barefoot trail while living in Europe and she felt free and like she was a child again. The rules for the Barefoot Trail is simple: take off your shoes and socks and walk a mile-long trail over various terrain.

The trail itself started out slow with only six people, but by the end of the season there were almost 1000 people a week the last few weeks they were open. It's now in it's second season going on from May to October this year with some new additions like swings and bridges. It's fun for the whole family!
