Trails & Rails is a program that was started by the National Park Service and Amtrak together in cooperation. The aim of this program is to devise a way that people can enjoy the wonders of nature that can be found in national parks in a way that is comfortable and convenient: on a train ride. Gigi Love performs on these trains as well as at location at national parks across the country.

By taking the time to visit the many wonderful natural sites at the many national parks across the country, Love's music perfectly reflects the things that people can see, feel, and experience in these places. From 2015 to 2017, she spent two years going around to nearly two dozen national parks to absorb everything she could from the places. She took many notes along the way, and what came from these notes are many of the songs that can be found in her album celebrating the centennial of national parks.

People who listen to her songs say that they feel transported to a different place. Because her lyrics are often depicting the many travels she has gone on, the songs themselves often feel like a journey. In her music, Gigi has a way of making the listener see what she sees and go with her on this journey.

Love's hometown is Dallas, Texas. When she was in first grade, she first picked up the guitar and started singing, and after years of devoted practice, her family and friends could quickly tell that she had a talent for performing and songwriting. By twelve, she was performing at some of the biggest local venues.

Her name recognition comes from the many big performances she has given in recent years. These have received a lot of media attention and exposure to the public from the huge audiences that were there to see her or saw the performance broadcasted. Some of the big venues she's played include opening for the Dave Matthews Band at the Columbia River Gorge, and the Winter Olympic Closing Ceremonies in Salt Lake.

This folk artist debuted with the NRFA in 2016 with the Suzi Wollenberg Folk DJ Showcase. Artists she's toured with include Kate McLeod, as well as with a Utah Phillips cover band with Duncan Phillips. Love's amazing voice compliments these tunes perfectly.

Beautiful national parks is what inspired Love's album celebrating the centennial. She saw the importance and wonder of these places, and wanted to use the power of song to help people become more aware of it. The songs she writes are carefully crafted to reflect the uniqueness of each place, so when one actually does visit there, the sounds perfectly fit the experience.

Yosemite Gold is Love's first song that was written about a national park. The story goes that she performed at Yosemite, and came across a rock climber who needed gas money and was offering to sell his mandolin. She bought the mandolin and took it to El Capitan Meadow, where she sat and wrote Yosemite Gold.
