More than half of the people hurt on the trail are young people between the ages of 10-14. To raise teen awareness on the trail, the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest Service and Washington Trails Association are sponsoring a digital media contest – and the winner will win a backpack filled with the 10 Essentials.

Youth may enter by submitting a link to an entry by Sept. 30 to www.wta.org.
