Support the High Trestle Trail

This information was updated December 2011. 

The High Trestle Trail exists because of generous support from groups, individuals, government agencies and businesses. That same generosity will keep the train strong! 

Donate now to the High Trestle Trail Legacy Fund

Now that the trail is completed, we are planning for its immediate and long-term care...kind of like establishing a college fund for your newborn.

Your gift today will help to:

  • keep those cool blue lights glowing on the bridge.
  • keep the trail surface and shoulders maintained.
  • promote the trail far and wide.
  • install new signs, improve the trail expereince and repave sections in the future.

Thanks for joining forces with other donors who've made this project possible:

Trail partners are grateful to the nearly 1,000 donors and to the major public grants that have brought this $14.7 million project to life. The High Trestle Trail exists today because of the broad community support from the cities and counties along the trail, state agencies, federal agencies, elected officials, corporations, individuals, businesses and non-profit organizations.
