Towns to Trails Plan

Project Description: The Eastern Sierra Towns to Trails Plan will build upon existing trail infrastructure in the region to identify a multi-use network that will connect Eastern Sierra communities to each other and to public lands. From northern Alpine County through Mono County and into southern Inyo County (a distance of approximately 200 miles), the plan will take advantage of existing priorities for trail connectivity already developed by federal land managers along with stakeholder ideas generated through the “Recreation Stakeholders” track of the SRTI. 

The trail network will cross multiple jurisdictions and lands managed by multiple entities, including the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, Inyo National Forest, Bureau of Land Management, and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. The planning process will feature county by county collaborative planning efforts that will include tribes, relevant land managers, stakeholders, and local agencies.  MLTPA is working with Alta Planning + Design on this grant funded project that is managed by the Eastern Sierra Council of Governments.

This project was identified by the Sustainable Recreation & Tourism Initiative as one of eight regional sustainable recreation projects recommended for implementation.
