The 100th Meridian – long been seen as the dividing line between the West and the Midwest. It serves as a rough boundary between dry areas to the west, and wetter areas to the east where there is enough rainfall to support trees.
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.
