Link 1 Comment

A reader sent a link to this site and I thought it would be of interest to all of you. This site, produced by the National Park Service (NPS), has detailed maps showing the routing of various national historic trails. Of interest to California, it shows the National Old Trails Highway (US 66), El Camino Real (US 101 for the most part), Old Spanish Trail, and a few others. Come check it out!

Caltrans District 9 – Covering Mono and Inyo Counties as well as a portion of Kern County, has come out with a new bicycling map which details many of the routes in the region and alternates to roads closed to bicycling. The region is a great place to ride when the weather is conducive. Just beware of high winds and high heat at times.
