Project Description

The CRVFO offers popular mountain bike trail systems throughout the 567,000 acres of BLM land within its management boundaries. These mountain bike trail systems are cooperatively managed with the support of local government land managers including the City of Glenwood Springs, City of Rifle, Eagle County, Pitkin County Open Space, Town of Carbondale, Town of Eagle, Town of Gypsum and Town of New Castle. There are over 220 miles of single-track mountain bike trails within the field office, including approximately 18 miles of designated mountain bike trails open to Class 1 e-bikes at the Grand Hogback Trail System north of Rifle, Colorado. 

To enhance the singletrack mountain bike trail opportunities for e-bike users within the BLM CRVFO, the BLM is proposing to add Class 1 e-bike use on all currently designated mechanized mountain bike trails within the field office.
