The $1.33 Million package includes improvements on three of Oregon's Signatures Trails: the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail in the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area, the Blue Mountains Trail in the Umatilla National Forest, and the Oakridge-Westfir Mountain Bike System in the Willamette National Forest.

Dedicated funding for specific trails is extremely rare in the federal budget appropriations process, and we are so grateful to Oregon's Senator Merkley and Senator Wyden for their support for trails and their leadership bringing this funding to Oregon. When Oregon Trails Coalition published the Oregon Signature Trails Inventory last spring, this was just the kind of investment we were hoping to forward!
