Trail Honoring Zeb Pike Takes Step Forward

ALAMOSA, Colo. (AP) – San Luis County commissioners are endorsing a proposal to establish a national historical trail honoring the route Zebulon Pike took across the Midwest and into Colorado in 1807.

Pike National Historic Trail Association President Harv Hisgen is trying to convince Colorado’s congressional delegation that the proposal is worthy.

San Luis County commissioners on Monday pledged their support.

Hisgen has endorsements from 11 of the 15 counties on the route.
