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.

Wrong benchmark. Not 1900. Maybe 1800. By 1880 most bison were gone.
PS: Great photo.
True. Good catch! I reblogged this from a friend’s page, and then realized his error. However, he’s a friend who used to be someone who disliked the plains, but I’ve managed, I think, to turn him around. He’s even committed to checking out a few sites this summer on his trek from Pennsylvania to Wyoming. So as a recent convert, I’ll cut him some slack on his bison history. 😉
You’re right, Ted. TYPO. Thanks for the catch. I’ve corrected in on the original. Thanks for the shout out, Great Plains Trail!
