The federal government would study whether the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, a hiking path in Utah, should be officially added to the National Trails System, which provides federal protection and funding for important recreational routes. The study would examine the trail's historical significance, current condition, and whether it meets the standards for national designation. If approved, the trail would receive federal support and recognition alongside other nationally protected trails across the country.
