The event will begin at 1 p.m. at the arena, 155 Davidson Road, Williams. The trail, which provides a low-elevation access point to thousands of miles of mountain trails, was created through a partnership with the community of Williams, environmental activists, recreationists and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service. "The BLM appreciates the hard work and dedication of the Williams community and our partners to make this trail become a reality," said Abbie Jossie, field manager for the Grants Pass Resource Area. The idea for the trail was hatched in the mid-1980s by local equestrian groups and the Rogue Group Sierra Club. Work began in 1989. Advertisement Since 1990, volunteers have worked on the trail periodically, including three National Public Lands Day events from 2000 to 2002. The Grayback Mountain Trail is now connected to the Forest Service Boundary Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail. It also provides access to the Oregon Caves and the Red Buttes Wilderness. The trail is open to hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. Refreshments will be provided during the ceremony. For more information, contact Jeanne Klein at 471-6614 or Jim Roper at 471-6631.
