Columbus, OH Great American Rail-Trail Route Reveal in 2019

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy unveiled its preferred route for the Great American Rail-Trail™—or the “Great American”—underscoring the organization’s commitment to creating an iconic piece of American infrastructure that connects more than 125 existing trails and 90 trail gaps over 3,700+ miles between Washington, D.C., and Washington State.

Today, in celebration of the Great American route reveal, RTC and its partners will host a series of cascading live events in select locations on trails along the preferred route, including Washington, D.C.; Columbus, Ohio; Three Forks, Montana; and South Cle Elum, Washington. #grtamerican
