Hardscrabble SRMA Trail Proposal Submitted!
It’s finally happened. Our proposal for new trails is officially submitted to the BLM for review.
What’s In The Plan?
10.5 miles of fresh new trails, key re-routes and better connectivity.
East Eagle
Pool/Ice Alternate Downhill - Proposed with the downhill experience in mind. Intermediate to advanced to allow progression from Pool & Ice. Natural and built features used to create a new, challenging experience.
Haymaker to Boneyard Proposed with the uphill experience in mind. Provides direct beginner to intermediate access from Haymeadow and the surrounding area to support growth. Alleviates pressure from Boneyard Trail.
Hillbilly Extension Adds longer loop options while keeping trail within the existing impact of Road Gulch. Intermediate/Advanced, technical rocky experience.
Road Gulch Tech Proposed for a technical blue/black singletrack with options for alternate black/double black lines. This alignment is intended to make use of the natural character of the terrain.
Road Gulch Outer Loop Proposed with multi-directional use and focusing on views and backcountry experience. Will also provide looping options with Road Gulch Tech, Belly Up, Will’s Thrill and all the trail in East Eagle.
Road Gulch Flow Proposed to improve the user experience from existing double track. A blue flow/jump trail with small-medium tabletops, berms, and opportunities for progression.
West Eagle
School House/Kill Bill Connector Multi-use, multi directional trail built to provide connections to downtown and parking, close hiking/dog walking loop, consolidate social use and increase looping options with existing trails
Abrams Gulch Reroute By re-routing Abrams Gulch we can improve and provide desired, easier area access without a new trail, improve the trail experience all while reduce grazing and watershed impacts.
Hermit Trail Epic backcountry, technical trail offering a technically challenging downhill experience containing natural landing jumps/drops and steep/technical rocky sections for the upper section of the trail. The lower section will offer scenic, natural feeling singletrack.
World’s Greatest Alternative Proposed as a a blue flow trail that traverses a ridge line. Serves as an alternative to World’s Greatest and provides a new descending experience.
Deadcow & Firebox Reroutes Re-routes provide motorized & non-motorized access supported by RMSR, watershed improvements, significantly better access to Mike’s Night Out and Hermit Trail with limited new impact.
