The Eight Wonders Trail: An Introduction - With Gary Housholder
Earlier this summer I got to sit down with Gary Housholder and discuss the origin story and concept of the Eight Wonders Trail (8WT). The GWT overlaps with portions of the Great Western Trail (GWT) through many parts of Utah. When I learned that my GWT experiences (see playlist linked below) might inform 8WT routing decisions, I reached out to Mr. Housholder through the 8WT group on Facebook (see link below). I first met Gary and others involved with the GWT through the Great Western Trail Association(GWTA) of which we are both board members. The GWTA, US Forest Service, and other stakeholders were vital to the establishment and maintenance of the GWT and "bridge" between points of interest along the 8WT in both Utah and Idaho.
