Large Turnout for the 3rd Annual Happy Trails Hike-A-Thon
Our largest ever turnout was on hand for the 3rd Annual Happy Trails Hike-a-Thon on Sunday, October 13, 2013 at Temescal Gateway Park. It was a fun day for all with hiking throughout the day along with face painting, the ever popular Bounce House, arts & crafts, food booths and, of course, the In-N-Out truck. Best of all, we raised thousands of dollars to help even more kids take part in all the programs Happy Trails offers. Thanks to everyone who hiked and volunteered, and to our sponsors for making our 3rd Hike-A-Thon the best one yet!
2013 Happy Trails Pool Party Makes a Splash!
Our Summer Spash pool party was our largest even yet! The pool was just part of the fun - the day was more of a mini camp, with a zip line, archery, and BB gun range in addition to two large pools and a water slide! The activities were broken up with a lunch break, and the day ended with ice cream - which given the almost 100 degree heat, was a welcome treat. Everyone had a great time!

5th Annual Happy Trails for Kids Camp is Better Than Ever!
