Great Plains Trail Alliance is working to establish the GPT, a long distance, non-motorized National Scenic Trail entirely in the Great Plains region. GPTA has a vision to create a trail from the Canadian border to Texas - all in the Great Plains! The mission of GPTA is to establish, develop, preserve and promote a long-distance, public, non-motorized trail running north/south through the Great Plains region of North America for the purposes of recreation, conservation, education, and inspiration.
