Hello my name is Kevin and I am creating a new long distance hiking trail, and the Four Corners Loop Trail Association for the creation and promotion of Four Corners Loop (FCL) trail.
I envision the term "National Scenic Trial" attached to the name in the future because the path I am laying out is worthy of the designation once approved by congress. I hiked the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) in 2004 and it changed my life. I was a 28 year old with a zest for adventure who loves navigating by map and using my sixth sense, a mental compass. With these tools in hand, I followed a hand drawn line across 26 pounds of 7.5 minute series maps. My line was from Mexico to Canada. I will never forget my journey along the route with fellow hiker Garlic Man. Long distance hiking hooked and captured my spirit. I knew there would be more to come. Ten years passed with memories of the CDT still appearing in my mind daily. Memories existed of the stones I stepped over, cliff edges I walked along, the snow, the wind, and especially the people. So when a friend George and his wife Karen asked me to hike Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in 2014, the answer was an immediate "YES!” On the PCT, I enjoyed all the people, the scenery, the towns and the creation of life's stories. Long distance hiking is popular, and I feel the Four Corners Loop is creating a new opportunity for others to follow. I see my idea as planting a seed that will grow into a new “National Scenic Trial". I just have to prove it out in 2021. I am happy be creating a new long distance hiking route from trails and paths that exist, and through my time spent on this project I am creating the possibility of something grand and definitely worthy of the National Scenic designation that congress has the power to create. Thanks you for following the inaugural hike of my dream that I will lay down in actual footsteps. Hike your own hike - Kevin |
The Logo was designed by Christine Coney a friend and a wonderful graphic artist.
She used her creativity to give the logo a southwest flair and did an excellent job representing the four corners area.
