One of the things we've heard over and over from the Trails community is how every adventure leads to something new: a new memory, a new learning opportunity, some new inspiration for the next great adventure. After a long and wonderful journey, that time has come for Family Trails. With more than 100,000 uses of the #FamilyTrails hashtag, it's clear that there's a lot of love and support for Family Trails – and the community is ready to take the lead and make it their own. This isn't an end to the trail, it's a fork in the road. As one adventure ends, another is ready to begin… Family Trails now belongs to you.

So what does that look like moving forward? We're glad you asked! FamilyTrails.com will stay live for now, but we are no longer accepting new submissions as of 3/30/18. The #FamilyTrails hashtag will live on indefinitely, and we encourage you to continue using it to connect with other families.

Thank you for all the wonderful adventures you've shared with us over the years. You have not only inspired us, but also families around the world. We look forward to seeing where the trail takes you in the months and years ahead.
