They provide areas for group activities, intergenerational activities, personal reflection and exercise. They also provide a means to maintain natural and historic features and provide a way to preserve cultural heritage and the quality of life in a community. Trails and parks bring many benefits to a community - functional transportation, support for well planned development and tourism, healthy recreation and opportunities for children to explore the world safely. An active alternate transportation community includes individuals of all ages and abilities. By no means exclusive to committed athletes, pathways and parks attract children, mothers pushing strollers, seniors out for a morning walk, casual tourists, joggers and others drawn by safe routes and outdoor Additional benefits of a trails and pathways system: Safe travel routes for children and adults Enhanced quality of life and health for all ages Increased traffic for local businesses Enhanced sense of community Additional access to National Forest and other state agency trails system Consistently ranked as one of the top ten most popular destinations in the State of Montana,1 Park County is experiencing steady community growth and economic prosperity with an influx of residential and commercial development and a desire to continue to attract the significant numbers of tourists that pass through the region each year. At the forefront of regional and statewide attractiveness, outdoor recreation opportunities - especially in alternative forms of transportation including bicycle and foot traffic - are becoming increasingly sought after. Rich with exceptional natural resources and recreational opportunities, outdoor amenities - and the health and societal benefits they provide – are a valued feature for Park County lifestyles and heritage. Outdoor recreation opportunities also have a measurable impact on state and local economies and can have important non-economic benefits as well. With heightened awareness of the serious health and social issues confronting Americans today, it is also important to better understand the health and social benefits associated with parks and recreation beyond their simple economic contributions. The Park County Active Transportation Plan (PCATP) is a consolidation of two existing plans – the Park County Park Plan – September 2007 and the Livingston/Park County Trails Plan – November 2006. It is also updated to include the existing facilities in the 1 Montana Top 10 Attractions. Best Places to Visit in Montana. Top Ten Visitor Attractions in Montana.

The objective of formalizing the PCATP is to create thoughtful inter- relationships with community priorities and opportunities as well as to maximize resources already available. This document serves as an effort to focus on how Park County and the Park County Parks and Recreation Board can function better to serve its population through four priority areas. Each priority is a broad statement of intent, which serves as a central focus for associated goals and objectives. The four PCATP strategic priorities include: Healthy and Safe Alternative Transportation Promotion Parks, Trails and Recreation Network Opportunities Effective Collaboration and Management Positive Economic Competitiveness This strategic planning document serves as a road map for the County for the next five years, and is supplemented by relative local and regional transportation plans. The intent is to update the plan with minor edits annually at a regularly scheduled Parks and Recreation Board meeting, with a major review and update every five years. 3 | P a g e Park County Active Transportation Plan 2016 – 2020 Figure 1.

  • The Sacagawea Mystique: Her Age, Name, Role and Final Destiny Columbia Magazine, Fall 1999: Vol
    History Commentary - The Sacagawea Mystique: Her Age, Name, Role and Final Destiny Columbia Magazine, Fall 1999: Vol. 13, No. 3 By Irving W. Anderson EDITOR'S NOTE The United States Mint has announced the design for a new dollar coin bearing a conceptual likeness of Sacagawea on the front and the American eagle on the back. It will replace and be about the same size as the current Susan B. Anthony dollar but will be colored gold and have an edge distinct from the quarter. Irving W. Anderson has provided this biographical essay on Sacagawea, the Shoshoni Indian woman member of the Lewis and Clark expedition, as background information prefacing the issuance of the new dollar. THE RECORD OF the 1804-06 "Corps of Volunteers on an Expedition of North Western Discovery" (the title Lewis and Clark used) is our nation's "living history" legacy of documented exploration across our fledgling republic's pristine western frontier. It is a story written in inspired spelling and with an urgent sense of purpose by ordinary people who accomplished extraordinary deeds. Unfortunately, much 20th-century secondary literature has created lasting though inaccurate versions of expedition events and the roles of its members. Among the most divergent of these are contributions to the exploring enterprise made by its Shoshoni Indian woman member, Sacagawea, and her destiny afterward. The intent of this text is to correct America's popular but erroneous public image of Sacagawea by relating excerpts of her actual life story as recorded in the writings of her contemporaries, people who actually knew her, two centuries ago.
