A limerick from a marmot

Enjoy this special treat from Miles the Marmot, just for Hike-a-Thon participants.

It turns out that Miles doesn’t just do a great job running Hike-a-Thon each year, he’s also a pretty good poet! He wrote this limerick to show just how much he loves Hike-a-Thoners.

“There once was a marmot named Miles,
Hike-a-Thoners bring him joy by the piles
They hike to help trails
And share all their tales
Hike-a-Thoners never fail to cause smiles.”

A marmot stands on its back legs on a rocky shelf, facing the camera. In the background, golden and orange-colored hillsides roll out below, with distant mountain peaks visible beyond. Photo by Vy Luong.
