In case you missed it, we at the Circuit Trails have been busy running a photo challenge for the last three weeks. We asked you to show us why you are proud to use the Circuit Trails by submitting your favorite photos #onthecircuit… and boy, did you deliver! Over the past three weeks we chose three awesome winners who each received a $500 gift card to REI, but the best part is we learn more about why you are #proudtotrail. 

What we saw from the entries was more than just beautiful snapshots. Instead, we got to see the Circuit Trails through the eyes of its biggest fans – trail users! 

Here’s what you told us:

• You love the Circuit Trails because they allow you the opportunity to escape your busy routines to enjoy, admire, and explore the beautiful nature around your communities.
• The Circuit Trails provide the perfect venue for “me” time, or for a place to gather and spend quality time outdoors with friends, family and of course, your furry friends! 
• You use the Circuit Trails in so many different ways –to enjoy the well-kept history of the trails, the gorgeous views and changing leaves, for commuting, for exercise, for picnicking (just to name a few). Each trail user has a unique story behind why they are #ProudToTrail.

Take a look at some of the diverse submissions from the photo challenge below! 

Our photo challenge may have ended, but we encourage you to keep tagging your favorite shots #onthecircuit. We would love to see how your using the vast trail network in our region.  Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to stay connected. Happy Trails!
