Doesn't look like this trail allows mountain biking. Too bad. High speed bike into cow collision could make for epic GoPro video.

Not encouraging people to bicycle to these parks is very short sided, in our opinion. More cars on the road will cause far more environmental damage than a few bicycles on the trail.

"More cars on the road will cause far more environmental damage than a few bicycles on the trail."
Bicycles on the trail does NOT reduce car traffic. Virtually all these bikers use cars to get to trails up here.
also: a nit on the article - Pesticides do not remove thistles. They remove 'pests' (well, excluding bikers)
Herbicides, otoh....

Actually herbicides are (a subclass of) pesticides, at least according to local governments which include them in their Integrated Pest Management programs. The plants they kill are considered pests.
