This is the day! October 2, 2018 marks the official 50th birthday of the National Trails System! I know I’ve posted this picture before, but I always find it interesting to note where President Johnson seems to be looking – yup, he’s looking right at 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.
