"The Bureau of Land Management Royal Gorge Field Office is starting a public scoping period on a proposal to add new trails to the Fourmile Area outside of Buena Vista, Colorado. The BLM estimates the area saw 32,000 visits in 2002. That number has dramatically grown to an estimated 132,000 annual visitors now. The considerable increase in visitation has resulted in more pressure on the existing network. Trends in recreation have also changed, particularly the demand for purpose-built mountain bike trails and communities seeking trails close to town as a desired amenity for economic development and quality of life."
