Multi-Use Trail (MUT) Projects
Extreme weather events in April-May 2021 closed the MUT due to erosion of tread and bridge abutments that created unsafe conditions for users. Volunteers from the Motorized community and the Trails Coalition came together to repair critical issues identified by the USFS and got the trails reopened. As of October 2022, 70 of 85 miles of trail are available for use. Here are the highlights from some of those projects.
