NPS is conducting a study to evaluate the feasibility and suitability of designating the Pike Trail as a new National Historic Trail. We invite you to learn about and participate in the study process. The route under study affects areas and interests in present-day Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana, as well as Mexico. Your participation is critical to the study process and findings. We hope to hear from you and your community. Visit https://parkplanning.nps.gov/pike.
