I think if you are going to make this a National trail-the Trail did not stop at Dodge City it went all the way up to Canada for the Western Trail. SO the bill that is being Presented ends at Dodge City. I am for the trail become a national trail, but only if it is marked right, and done correctly.
thank you

The Western Trail moved west in the 1880's and followed the Colorado-Kansas stateline through most of the 1880's. In the mid 1880's Texas cattlemen wanted legislation passed to designate a 2 to 6 mile strip in Colorado, and along the Eastern state line as the "National Cattle Trail". Hopefully this part of the trail will be recognized as part of the Western Trail system.
