The Baldwin County Trailblazers
Baldwin County Trailblazers advocates for improved and expanded walking and biking opportunities in Baldwin County, Alabama. As part of our mission, we manage the Walking School Bus and organize and promote bicycle parking (Bike Valet) at public events, highly visible programs that inspire “people-powered” commuting. In 2020, the organization sponsored new bike racks, publicly recognized bike-friendly businesses, and championed safe connectivity throughout the county for cyclists and pedestrians.
A Little History about a Big Project – The Trailblazers was founded as a nonprofit in 1995 to raise funds to create The Eastern Shore Trail, a 22-mile multi-surface path connecting North Daphne to Weeks Bay. We are stewards of the now-popular Trail.
