Advocacy
For specific trail information and to participate in the letter writing campaign go to Action AlertChallenges to mountain biking on Montana's public lands include:
* A Forest Service Region One policy will ban bicycles from Recommended Wilderness areas. This policy could eliminate access to up to nearly 1,000 miles of singletrack that has been ridden and enjoyed for the last twenty years with no guarantee of ever becoming a Congressionally designated Wilderness. This policy, unique only to the Region One area, is the most restrictive in the U.S.
* A lawsuit filed against the Forest Service by the Montana Wilderness Association, Greater Yellowstone Coalition and subsequently, the Wilderness Society, concerning the Gallatin National Forest Travel Plan in the Hyalite Porcupine Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area. If successful, an outcome of the lawsuit could ban bicycles along the iconic Gallatin Crest and would include Emerald Lake, Hyalite Lake and Blackmore trails south of Bozeman and Porcupine and Buffalo Horn trails near Big Sky.
MMBA will also highlight success stories like the High Divide Agreement as examples of diverse user groups working together for more riding opportunities.
