Overview
About the event
Some people claim that trail mix was invented in the late 1960s by two surfers in California who needed a quick and easy snack to provide protein and energy. They started by mixing peanuts with raisins, which some people refer to as G.O.R.P., short for �??Good Old Raisins and Peanuts�?�. Since that time and with just those two ingredients, trail mix has certainly come a very long way!
National Trail Mix Day is celebrated on this day each year, showing some love for the simplicity of this helpful and delicious snack that keeps many hikers, and just average people, going while they are spending time enjoying the great outdoors.
