Sounds like more changes are coming. Let’s hope they strike a balance that helps preserve it all.

Riders in the Pisgah National Forest must suffer through grueling climbs, then lick their wounds after torturous, ultra-technical descents - this renowned gnarliness has created a paradox: the same terrain for which the area is famous also makes the trails a sustainability conundrum.

Faced with the closure of one such trail, a group of mountain bikers, anglers and land managers embarked on an effort to heal a river by building a better trail—and sparked a series of large-scale projects that could transform the area’s trails and help restore entire watersheds in the process.
