Sharing The Byway With The World


The Gold Belt Byway Association

The Gold Belt Scenic and Historic Byway was first designated as a BLM Backcountry Byway in 1989. And became one of the first 5 State Scenic and Historic Byway that same year, during this time a steering team was formed to set up the goals, visions and set up community partnership plans for the Gold Belt Byway. This team finished its work in 1997 and a smaller group than took over to form the organization that now promotes and protects the Gold Belt Scenic and Historic Byway. We obtained our 501(c)(3) not for profit status in 2000 and in June of that same year were designated as a National Scenic and Historic Byway.

The Gold Belt Tour Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization is dedicated to preserving the rural lifestyle, natural environment, and rich cultural and historic heritage along the byway. The association is a cooperative collaboration of individuals, businesses, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations. Through education and outreach the association shares the byway with the world!
