Pedestrian Trail
Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site » Pedestrian Trail » Document List
The National Park Service is proposing to construct pedestrian trails at Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site to enhance community cohesion, enhance interpretive and recreational opportunities, provide accessible trails, and minimize impacts on park resources from the creation of social trails. Currently, there are no formalized pedestrian trails within the historic site.
This proposal includes constructing pedestrian trails and associated amenities to enhance recreational and interpretive opportunities. A pedestrian trail would be constructed to provide a seamless connection with the trail on adjacent Navajo Nation land. A portion of this trail would be accessible to provide opportunities for all visitors and customers of Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site. An accessible trail to the Hogan in the Lane and a route around the "Big Field" are also being considered. In addition, wayside exhibits would be installed to provide interpretive information to visitors and customers, and benches would be installed along the Wash Trail.
An Environmental Assessment for constructing trails has been prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to provide the decision-making framework that 1) explores a reasonable range of alternatives to meet project objectives, 2) evaluates potential issues and impacts to park resources and values, and 3) identifies mitigation measures to lessen the degree or extent of these impacts.
The National Park Service encourages public participation throughout the NEPA process during which the public has two opportunities to formally comment on the project; once during initial project scoping and again following release of the Environmental Assessment. Thank you for your interest in this project.
