Great Plains Trail

"The best view of the mountains,
is from the plains." - K. L. Purdy
I love discovering new, epic trails being planned.

I recently found out about a mega-path called the Great Plains Trail. Here is the first paragraph from the Great Plains Trail website:
The ultimate goal is to establish, preserve and promote a long distance, non-motorized trail running north/south through the short grass prairies of the Great Plains, resulting in a trail that runs from Canada’s Grassland National Park on the U.S./ Canada border to the summit of Guadalupe Peak in Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Texas.


Now that sounds awesome to me. I love the plains, I adore long-distance trails, and I am a particular fan of trails in the western portion of the U.S. because, well, they're easy for me to access. This trail will fill the bill nicely.


I wish Steve the best of luck with this trail, and I hope he quickly generates a big fan base. It would be fantastic to make this trail dream a reality.

Ohio Bikeways website

I rarely get the chance to browse the web for other trail-related websites, even though I should probably do it more often. However, when I do, I'm always impressed by the great sites out there.

My most recent find is the Ohio Bikeways website. It is very nicely organized and has fantastic information about trails in Ohio. I wish every state had such nicely planned and specifically focused trail websites. The folks of Ohio have every reason to be proud of this bike trail site.

The site includes maps, updated trail news, trail reviews, lists of trails, and links to other trail related websites. If you ever plan to ride bike trails in Ohio, this site is a must. I have yet to include Ohio trails on the trailsnet website, but when I do, this will be the first stop on the planning phase of my bike trip.

I also recommend this site for those of you who are building your own trail website. It is an extremely well planned bike trail website.
