Aprašymas

Explore 49 of America’s premier multiuse trails with this official guide from Rails to Trails Conservancy.

Across the country, former railroad corridors and other historic routes have been transformed into public multiuse trails. Since 2007, Rails to Trails Conservancy has recognized the best of them through its Rail-Trail Hall of Fame. Together, these remarkable trails cross nearly every kind of landscape—from lively urban corridors to open prairie, coastlines, forests, and mountain ranges.

In Rail-Trail Hall of Fame, the experts from Rails to Trails Conservancy present 49 celebrated trails spanning 31 states—from the Great Allegheny Passage in Maryland and Pennsylvania to Missouri’s Katy Trail State Park to Hawaii’s Ke Ala Hele Makalae. This expanded edition features six additional hall-of-fame selections, including Maine’s Eastern Trail, California’s Sacramento River Rail Trail and Sacramento River Trail, and Kansas’ Flint Hills Trail State Park.
