With more miles than the Interstate Highway System, America's National Trail System provides one of the most personal and meaningful opportunities for individuals, families, communities to find health, inspiration and wonder in America Today.

Today's show will feature the leading experts who plan, administer and promote the National Trails System.

In Segment one

• A short inspiration by Jeanne and Bill Watson, who have been devoted to the Oregon / California Trail Association (OCTA) will open the show.

In Segment two

• We will talk with Gary Werner, Executive Director for the Partnership for the National Trails System, the man responsible for overseeing the coordination of all aspects of the National Trails System

• We will be talking with Steven Elkinton, the Program Leader with the National Trails System for the National Park Service about the many elements of the system, and how you can get involved.
