Did you know that 95% of land in Texas privately held? This makes us the state with the lowest percentage of public lands in the US. But we do have some beautiful public land, like the treasure of Big Bend National Park. What an amazing place to visit! Right now, there is open public comment about the creation of a mixed-use singletrack trail for mountain bikers, hikers, equestrians in Big Bend. Are you interested in commenting? The International Mountain Bike Association supports the creation of this trail, which is proposed to be constructed using best-practices techniques, in conjunction with National Park Service and with what seems to be great cognizance of environmental impacts. Read for yourself, and if you are interested, please comment. The addition of well-designed, minimal impact singletrack to Big Bend sounds like one more great place to enjoy the fall in Texas.
