                                              PURPOSE
                     The purpose of S. 2608 is to authorize the Secretary of the Inte-
                   rior and the Secretary of Agriculture to place signage on Federal

                                       BACKGROUND   AND NEED
                     The American  Discovery Trail (Trail) is our nation's only coast-
                   to-coast, non-motorized, multi-use trail, and stretches across 6,800
                   miles and 15 states. Its route links existing trails, rail-trails, coun-
                   try lanes, small town sidewalks, and big city greenways. It con-
                   nects rural towns and cities with parks and wilderness, and allows
                   people to hike, bike, or ride horses for an afternoon or a cross-coun-
                   try adventure.
                     The Trail uses existing public lands to connect: five National Sce-
                   nic, 12 National Historic, and 34 National Recreational Trails; 14
                   National Parks; and 16 National Forests. It links some 10,000 sites
                   of historic, cultural, and natural significance. The Trail is a sea-
                   to-shining-sea showcase of America's scenic, historic, and cultural
                   treasures.
