This is it. The highest point of the entire Great Plains – Fishers Peak in southern Colorado – 9,633 ft. It’s not geologically part of the Rockies, but instead is volcanic in origin, sits east of the Rockies and therefore is part of the Great Plains.
Great Plains Trail Alliance was formed from an inspiration that began in 1991 when founder Steve Myers took a trip from Minnesota to Wyoming. On the way, he was struck by the beauty of the open spaces west of the Missouri River. He wanted a way to experience this landscape more fully. Not long after, the seed of an idea for the Great Plains Trail was planted.
