On December 15th, 2020, a new website for the Hot Springs National Scenic Trail Proposal was published which includes guidebooks, trail updates, and an events calendar for upcoming trail work opportunities. Check it out at www.hotspringstrail.org In other news, restrictions and precautionary measures due to Covid 19 this year have greatly effected the progress of this effort. Stay tuned in 2021 as travel returns and a new class of hikers are set to hit the trail. Happy holidays and thanks for supporting this monumental effort. - Aria Zoner
