Re: [RC] re: AHA championship trail - Elizabeth Walker

Ah - good.  Exactly my point (though I don't live in that area either).  :)  It depends on the trail.

The small dozer is probably 6 feet wide.  The trail HAS to be dozed and packed so it can be brushhogged.  Why?  Because the entire trail was becoming a single track deep RUT.  As Meghan said, it is still every bit as beautiful and scenic as always. 
Maybe you should ask Jan Jeffers, manager of the ride, what the trails were like before they worked on them.  She will tell you that 80% of them were only doable at a jog, unless you didn't want your knees.
If you don't live in this area, you have no idea how to manage our trails.

Yes, well, so is the Beartooth highway and the Highway 14 up Shell Canyon, but I don't want to ride an endurance ride on them, either.  Sounds to me like someone willfully destroyed a wonderful, single track trail just so an elite group of riders could gallop.  I realize I don't know the whole story, but just the thought of someone "bulldozing" a trail so you can gallop is very sad to me.  Cindy
