Saving the Trails

Recently there has been some trail maintinence that has lot of people up in arms (including myself). Some good singletrack sections were bulldozed into wide fire roads. Apparently the NPS was going to shut down the entire trail because of all the erosion where this happened but a local mtb group asked if they fixed it up if they could keep the trail open. Nice work. Too bad the technical features all got taken out. Hopefully all the local groups and mountain bikers can get together one day and help maintenance trails together (rather than not allow those that don't belong to the group to not participate). Can't we all just get along?

Decided a trip to Fistful of Smoothness was in order

Before

After

This was a design I did after this happened. We have to work together to save it.
