SUMMARY:

This notice issues the official trail marker insignia of the North County National Scenic Trail. The original graphic image was developed as part of the Trail's comprehensive plan for management and use in 1982 and published in the Federal Register, May 13, 1983. The National Park Service has officially used this insignia—and subsequent variations—since. It was slightly redesigned in 1996 so that lettering and framing match other National Trails System markers. The earlier designs which are still in use along the Trail are also protected from unauthorized uses by this notice. This publication accomplished the official designation of the insignia now in use by the National Park Service.
