SUMMARY: This notice issues the official trail marker insignia for 
National Recreation Trails. The original graphic image was developed by 
the Federal Interagency Council on Trails in 1970. The National Park 
Service has officially used this insignia to help mark all designated 
national recreation trails. The insignia was slightly redesigned in 
1996 so that lettering and framing match other National Trails System 
markets.

official designation of the insignia now in use by the National Park 
Service.
