During National Trails Day on June 3, 1999 the BLM joined a consortium of partners in the dedication of a segment of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail.  Sign markers for the trail on Fort Ord Public Lands were assembled by four ancestors of explorers involved in the 1775-76 expedition that was integral in establishing an overland route from Sonora, Mexico to San Francisco.  Anza and his group of colonists founded a presidio and mission for New Spain at San Francisco Bay.  Enjoy the scenic vistas and always tread lightly.
