About the American Discovery Trail: discoverytrail.org

 

usa

The American Discovery Trail is a new breed of national trail — part city, part small town, part forest, part mountains, part desert — all in one trail. Its 6,800+ miles of continuous, multi-use trail stretches from Delaware, to California. It reaches across America, linking community to community in the first coast to coast, non-motorized trail. The ADT provides trail users the opportunity to journey into the heart of all that is uniquely American — its culture, heritage, landscape and spirit.

The ADT follows the general route of the old Santa Fe Trail to La Junta and passes by Bent’s Old Fort National Historic Site. It also goes through John Martin Reservoir State Park and Lake Pueblo State Park. The route uses county and state roads through the pastoral countryside.
