Foothills Trail receives national recognization

On May 31, 2012, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis announced 54 trails designated as national recreation trails. Pierce County’s Foothills Regional Trail was one of those trails. It becomes part of more than 15,000 miles of national trails that link communities to public lands and local parks. More information is available at the American Trails web site.

The Foothills Trail begins on Pioneer Way near Puyallup and continues for 15 miles to South Prarie traveling along the Carbon River.  When construction is complete it will connect the town of Buckley with Puyallup.
