National Trails of the United States Map (Folded) (ISBN-13: 9781566959650)

The 1968 National Trails System Act was enacted to promote public access to trails for people of all abilities and interests, offering activities like hiking, biking, camping, and historical education. The system includes National Scenic, Historic, and Recreation Trails, as well as one National Geologic Trail, spanning all 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Congress authorizes Scenic and Historic Trails, while Recreation Trails are designated by federal departments. Managed by various agencies and supported by volunteers and organizations, the system embodies a nationwide vision of interconnected trails, enriching recreation and education while showcasing the value of national investment.

A list of all National Scenic, Historic, and Recreation Trails, sorted by state, is also included to help you find the closest wilderness. The country is represented in subtle earth-tones with shaded mountain relief and intricately drawn river systems.

Every Destination Map is printed on durable synthetic paper, making them waterproof, tear-resistant and tough -- capable of withstanding the rigors of any kind of travel.
