Posted on May 21, 2010 at 5:25 pm

The Partnership for the National Trails System is pleased to announce our upcoming bienniel National Trails Conference, co-hosted this year with the Overmountain Victory Trail Association and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy in Abingdon, Virginia.

This year’s conference theme is centered around the importance of mutually beneficial relationships between trails and trail communities. Join us for topic panels, open discussions, and success stories from around the National Trails community. As always, an exciting slate of hands-on learning awaits in the form of field trips to the many trails converging in the area. This year also offers a unique opportunity for all our trails partners, as we have timed the conference to coincide with the nearby local hiking festival Damascus Trail Days.

Looks like talks are taking place to help develop the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail.

Pacific Northwest Trail Association

Had a great meeting yesterday with WA State Parks and the Jefferson Trails Coalition discussing the route of the PNNST (and ODT) through Anderson Lake State Park in Jefferson County. As most people are aware, the PNNST and ODT share the Trail though Jefferson County andwill, at least through Anderson Lake. We look forward to a great partnership to achieving our common goals.

Happy Anniversary! On June 12, 2012, CDTC Founding Board Members signed our articles of Incorporation and filed with the State of Colorado to become an official organization. We can not believe all that we have achieved in just one year, but we are delighted to have you all along for the journey! We will celebrate with a toast to all of you on this glorious day, and maybe, just maybe we'll sneak a hike out on the Trail!
