Handout Will Help You Explore The Trailways Of The Country

There's an unforgettable adventure awaiting you. And it's not fixing your leaky roof or alphabetizing your address book. Discover your inner Lewis and Clark with Explore America, a new package of publications from the Federal Citizen Information Center. Use the National Trails System Map and Guide from the Department of the Interior to learn about these 23 trails and how they vary in length, terrain, difficulty, and accessibility.

If you're looking to spend an afternoon hiking or a weekend camping, why not visit one of the eight National Scenic Trails? These trails are continuous footpaths that enable you to enjoy some of our country's most breathtaking scenery while getting healthy outdoor exercise. From the rugged mountains and colorful wildflowers of the Appalachians to the desert valleys and rain forests of the Pacific Crest, there's something for every outdoor enthusiast on the National Scenic Trails.

Before you head out, read Handout on Health: Sport Injuries from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. Find out how to avoid spraining your ankle or pulling a muscle while you're enjoying the National Trails System. And get helpful advice on how to effectively treat these injuries, if one occurs.

Call toll-free 1 (888) 8 PUEBLO. That's 1 (888) 878-3256, weekdays 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time and ask for Explore America. Have your credit card handy. Get more information and take advantage of government services at www.FirstGov.gov and www.Espanol.gov, your official Eng-lish and Spanish web portals to the Federal government.
