CTF Comment on the Continental Divide Trail "Proposed Directive"

The Forest Service has begun an effort to plan the future of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The CDNST Proposed Directive greatly affects The Colorado Trail, as approximately 150 miles of the CT is co-located with the CDNST, and the two trails share a corridor that is approximately 200 miles long.

Because this planning effort for CDNST so greatly impacts the CT, the CTF studied the subject carefully, consulted our entire Board of Directors, and submitted the attached comment. In a nutshell, we hope the CT becomes fully non-motorized as has been our goal since inception, but otherwise remain open to all other user groups that are currently allowed, namely hike, bike, and horse.
