Plain-English Summary
The federal government would fund a study to determine whether a new scenic hiking trail called the Benton MacKaye Trail should be officially designated and developed as a national scenic trail. The study would examine the trail's route, condition, environmental impact, and feasibility for public use and maintenance. This would affect hikers, outdoor enthusiasts, and the communities along the proposed trail route.
