Some local trails may be closed, and others may be realigned, but that’s open to debate. Many of those being considered for closure are some of the steepest, most challenging areas that are prone to erosion.

Some of the trails may be closed, and others may be realigned. Many of those being considered for closure are some of the steepest, most challenging areas that are prone to erosion.

Mountain bikers who enjoy the challenging trails have voiced opposition to the closure of some of these trails. But others would like to see erosion prevented.

Comments submitted by Dec. 19 will be sent to members of the Parks and Recreation and the Natural Lands Preservation advisory boards for consideration. Email comments to [email protected].

Both boards will meet to discuss this topic at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 8 at the Durango Community Recreation Center. But the meeting will not accept public comment.
