The Desert Trail Association http://www.thedeserttrail.org/ was working to create a National Scenic Desert Trail from Mexico to Canada since the 1980s and part of that route is nationally designated (see above link). The route created by the Oregon Natural Desert Association www.onda.org/oregondeserttrail is the 750-mile Oregon Desert Trail and ties into a few sections of their route in the Pueblos & Steens Mountain, but we are a separate entity and organization.
