About us :
The National Park Service Comprehensive Management and Use Plan describes the official route, lists 83 historic sites and six protected segments and makes recommendations for resource protection, trail management and marking. Many of the sites and segments are on public land, and are open to visitors. Others are located on private lands-please obtain the landowners permission before entry.
The 1,624 mile auto tour route is generally marked with the trail logo, and closely follows the trail's historic route. Information on trail routes and history is available from the National Park Service Long Distance Trails Office. Information on accessibility and travel conditions along the cross-country segments is best obtained from local offices of the Bureau of Land Management or the National Forest Service.
