This plan provides broad-based policies, guidelines, and standards for administering the four trails to ensure the protection of trail resources, their interpretation, and their continued use. Subsequent planning efforts tier off of the Comprehensive Management and Use Plan and provide more detailed recommendations and guidance.

The Oregon, California, Mormon Pioneer, and Pony Express National Historic Trails represent in part the heritage of the westward expansion of the United States. To preserve this heritage, and to provide opportunities for people to understand and experience this part of American history, partners from public agencies, as well as representatives from nonprofit organizations and private landowners, work together to protect, maintain, and promote the trail corridors. This collaborative effort is necessary to ensure that future generations will be able to appreciate and enjoy trail resources.
