Sen. Ted Stevens to Reopen Perseverance Trail

Saturday, June 21, 2008 at 3:00 pm

The community is invited to join Trail Mix, Inc. and U.S. Senator Ted Stevens in a celebration of the historic Perseverance Trail at 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 21st. The event will take place at the main trailhead at the end of Basin Road.
Thanks the the Alaska Trails Initiative and the generosity of Trail Mix members, the most popular trail in Juneau has been preserved for generations to come.
Also on hand for the event will be Mayor Bruce Botelho, state Sen. Kim Elton, and Alaska State Parks Director James King, who spearheaded the project as executive director of Trail Mix.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will mark the completion of a two-year, $890,000 project to preserve the trail, made possible by Sen. Stevens’ support of the Alaska Trails Initiative, a federally funded program that has supported trail improvements throughout Juneau and across Alaska, including the Auke Lake Trail and the Iditarod Trail.
