Deer Canyon trails traffic jam
I've been trail riding in this area for many years now. To characterize the situation with the headline "Canyon Trails Traffic Jam" is way over the top, from both the standpoint of numbers of users and trail conflicts. Granted there are a few more bikers out there on a Saturday or Sunday morning, but just last Saturday afternoon I rode the entire trail system for a couple of hours and saw no one. Furthermore, I have never seen an equestrian either on the upper trails, nor in the Tunnels Trails. The only way an equestrian could maneuver in the Tunnels would be to illegally cut the canopy, which in fact happened this week in one of the closed Tunnels trails. This has now caused Parks & Rec to irresponsibly close the entire area to all trail users. The equestrian/s who did this should be laid out on the trail and run over repeatedly by the members of the "responsible" mountain biking community — the same community who pick up trash, trail build and work within the system to design plans for the area that not only preserve the trails, but for all users.— December 13, 2008 8:02 a.m.
