John, 

Did you know that the United States is home to 11 congressionally
designated National Scenic Trails, stretching across the country from
north to south and east to west?

These trails are vital to our national heritage, offering unparalleled
outdoor adventures, preserving critical ecosystems, and ensuring
climate resilience. We're proud to have played a significant
role in protecting nine of these treasured paths.

You may be familiar with the iconic Pacific Crest and Appalachian
Trails, but other National Scenic Trails deserve our attention and
protection, too. From the majestic Continental Divide Trail to the
historic Potomac Heritage Trail, each path offers unique landscapes
and experiences, yet all face threats from development.

Established by Congress in 1968, the National Trails System has grown
thanks to the tireless efforts of advocates and organizations like
ours. These trails are more than just hiking paths-they are
conservation corridors, connecting urban and rural communities to
nature, facilitating wildlife migration, and balancing sensitive
ecosystems.

We invite you to explore our new story, "Do You Know Your National
Scenic Trails?," where you'll find an interactive map detailing these
incredible trails and our impact on their conservation
