Gregory Goes There

At Gregory, we like trails (to state the obvious).

And we like to see more trails come on board.

It’s kind of like wildlife habitat (often found in the same place as trails): We’re not making any more (for the most part), so it’s nice when some is set aside, or at least recognized as having value to an established network of trails.

In that vein,  late last month (in advance of National Trail Day) the new Secretary of Interior designated 525 miles of new trails the list of National Recreation Trails.

Since 1971, the National Recreation Trails system has recognized existing trails and trail systems that connect communities to recreational zones in public lands and local parks around the country. A network of more than 1,000 previously designated trails in all 50 states totalling more than 12,500 miles already exists in the NRT system.

Make that 13,525 miles …

Here’s a list of of the new additions to the new system.
