MST Completion Form

Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail recognizes anyone who reports completion of the entire trail. Friends’ policy is to operate on an honor system, assuming that those who apply for an award have completed the entire trail. People who apply for the award are expected to have hiked all sections that are natural surface trail or greenway trail, but people may choose whether to bike or hike sections that are on roads or paddle the two optional paddle routes. Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail awards a certificate to everyone who completes the trail at our annual meeting each spring.
