A new initiative aims to elevate the mountain biking future of one of Colorado's most scenic alpine bases.
Encompassing a mountainside overlooking Silverton, the 30-mile trail system envisioned for Bakers Park "will enhance the recreational offerings and access to public lands in the area for residents and visitors alike," read a recent Bureau of Land Management news release.
Leaders and cycling advocates in the small, remote town in the state's southwest region officially proposed the broad network last year. Lisa Branner, Silverton's community relations manager, said the idea came as the town took a hard look at its trails plan from 2004.
