Episode Synopsis "September 11 National Memorial Trail"

Sept. 11, 2001 was one of the darkest days in United States history, but out of that terrible event has grown numerous memorials to heroism, bravery and patriotism, such as the September 11 National Memorial Trail. Once complete, the 1,300-mile path will connect Washington D.C., Somerset County Pennsylvania and New York City using existing and new infrastructure. One stretch of the future trail is partially built outside of Garrett, Somerset County, and on this episode Jeff McCauley, 9/11 Trail director of trail development, and Somerset County Parks and Trails Director Lyndsay Pyle give me a tour of that area. www.911trail.org
