By John Arens Elko's New Trail SystemIf there’s one thing we were encouraged to do while growing up, it was to go exploring on our own. Whether it was the woods out back, a grassy field or a nearby creek, every day presented a different adventure and a chance to find something new. That sense of exploration grew into an addiction.
