The Montco Trail Challenge

The Montgomery County Office of Public Health, in partnership with the Planning Commission, Commissioners, and Parks, Trails, and Historic Sites, is hosting the 9^th annual Montco Trail Challenge.

Selected parks and trails throughout the County have been identified and assigned a unique symbol, placed at trailheads or parking lots. Upon visiting the listed parks and trails, participants must find and correctly identify the symbol, like a scavenger hunt.
