‘National Trails Day’ Maps Show U.S.’s Best Trails at Risk
June 5th marks National Trails Day, a day set aside to celebrate the nation’s great outdoors and a day that draws outdoor enthusiasts to settings in some of the nation’s most precious wild national forests. Unfortunately, parts of the nation’s best trails could vanish forever. The Bush Administration, along with the encouragement of its allies in the timber industry, are poised to weaken current federal protections and open portions of national forests known as "roadless areas" to logging, mining and drilling.
Maps released by the Heritage Forests Campaign document the great trails that would be threatened by regulatory changes; among them the Appalachian Trail, the Lewis and Clark Trail, the Pony Express Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, the California Trail and many others.
