Mountain Goat Trail, rollin’ down the line to Cowan
On Oct. 22 the Cowan Commercial & Community Club met for an expedited “New Trails” Small Business Workshop led by Cowan Railroad Museum president Jarod Pearson, to help business owners, employees, and community partner be eager and ready for the growth we expect from the Mountain Goat Trail extension, an effort Pearson has helped lead throughout the past few years in anticipation of the Mountain Goat Trail extending down the mountain to meet the Cowan Railroad Museum, an exemplary trail head feature for a “Rails to Trails” program. As the gravel is now being placed, the town of Cowan is in an accelerated mode to put resources and plans for development into action for a new welcoming center and accommodations for cyclists and hikers. Pearson emphases, “This is no longer a goal or a vision. This is happening now. All the previous meetings we’ve had, the vision, the goal – we’re past that. It’s coming. There is heavy equipment on the mountain working on the extension to Cowan. The economic and social impact to Cowan is real.”
