Our Mission
After completing the Sea To Sea Trail (Trans County Trail), the goal of the Sea To Sea Trail Foundation will be to create a network of interconnected trails crisscrossing the lower 48 states of the United States. A person will be able to ride a bicycle, ride a horse or walk to every large or medium size town in the country.
Trails will lead directly or indirectly to the nation’s major trails, such as the Appalachian Trail, the American Discovery Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail. All qualifying trails in the network can include www.seatoseatrail.org on their mile markers to indicate their being a part of the trail grid.
Our first area of focus is San Diego. This branch is called the San Diego Trans County Trail. It is also known as the San Diego Sea To Sea Trail. The latter name is largely coincidental. The two seas it connects are the Pacific Ocean in Del Mar, California and The Salton Sea, 140 miles inland. This Trail crosses the Pacific Crest Trail, which extends from Mexico to Canada.
Our Current Focus: Crossing San Diego County on the San Diego Sea To Sea Trail
This San Diego trail will pass gorgeous scenery that includes beach, coastal wetlands, mountains, lakes, streams, desert and an inland sea. Such diversity within 140 miles makes it an exceptionally beautiful part of the national trail network. Click here to see a map of the complete San Diego Sea To Sea Trail.
The Foundation is doing more than merely building this trail, it is:
- Fostering environmental awareness and a love of the outdoors
- Through related educational programs ensuring that today’s school children learn to appreciate their country’s natural environment and its history
- Creating an adventure for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians
- Developing a ‘best practice’ model to make as much of the Trail as possible open to those adventurers with disabilities.
