The Nevada Department of Transportation was awarded a $175,000 Formula Grant from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration under the Recreational Trails Program (CFDA 20.219) on May 24, 2022. The grant funding will support Nevada Outdoor School in completing planning and National Environmental Policy Act documentation for a new, up to 50-mile multi-use stacked loop trail system located between Elko and Spring Creek, Nevada. Specifically, grant funds will cover costs associated with a trail design and layout contract, route finding, corridor flagging, GPS file creation, and confirming previous work on the first 12 miles of the concept trail system. The project will also include consultant travel and a two-day trail design and layout class. Deliverables are intended to satisfy Bureau of Land Management requirements to advance construction of the new trail system.
