Mountain bikers in Wyoming should consider attending a series of upcoming public Workshops. The meetings are being held to provide input on trail policies for the Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF) and will focus on trail classifications in the Big Piney, Buffalo and Jackson Ranger Districts.

As part of its Travel Plan revision, the BTNF is updating its designated OHV route system and creating new policies that will guide OHV management for the next 10-15 years. About 20 percent of the BTNF is currently open to motorized recreation, including several important corridors and dirt bike trails shared and valued by mountain bikers. This is your chance to provide input on how the BTNF might balance motorized and non-motorized recreation in the affected Districts for years to come.
