Born from the AIR Shift Patrick County program, TRAIL H.A.N.D.S, is a project that brings art and trails together to engage visitors in a meaningful and unique experience. In addition to hiking, each person that experiences a TRAIL HAND will also have the opportunity to learn more about our county – the Heritage, Arts, Nature, Dreams and Stories of our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
