Grand Opening and bike- hike- run-along on Salida’s new trail, Maybe!

A new natural-surface trail is now open to the public near downtown Salida. Called “Maybe,” the 0.75-mile-long trail creates an important connection in the Arkansas Hills Trails System and provides many more opportunities for people to enjoy Salida’s renowned trail network.   The public is invited to attend a Grand Opening event on Friday, April 19, at the base of the new trail (along the Rise-N-Shine trail, near Cottonwood Gulch). The event will begin at 10am with a ceremonial ribbon cutting, followed by a group walk- hike- and bike-along to check out the new trail. SMT staff and board members will be on hand to answer any questions.  “Maybe really ties the trail system together,” said Salida Mountain Trails (SMT) Executive Director Jon Terbush. “The trail fills what had been a gap in the network, creating a connection to link shorter routes and provide more singletrack options close to downtown Salida.”   Maybe replaces a decades-old, undesignated “social” trail that crossed private property. Working in partnership with the City of Salida and the Bureau of Land Management, Royal Gorge Field Office (BLM), SMT developed a plan to reroute the trail onto public land. James Flatten, a professional trail builder, constructed Maybe with support from SMT and City staff.  In 2023, an astounding 225,000 people entered/exited the Arkansas Hills Trails from the F Street parking lot, according to trail counter data. Increased use has led to increased congestion, something the new trail will directly address.  "This official designation of Maybe is a great addition to the Arkansas Hills Trail System,” said City of Salida Parks, Trails, & Open Space Supervisor Zach Ryerson. “Adding a trail like this so close to town will help users disperse across an increasingly used trail system. All users will have multiple options leaving the F street parking area to enjoy biking, running or hiking. This was an awesome collaboration between SMT, City of Salida, BLM and James Flatten, a private contractor. To make a trail like this happen, lots of things need to come together, and I’m so glad we were able to get it done."

A Church

On Earth Day, April 22, the Greater Arkansas River Nature Association (GARNA) presents The History of Public Lands with Walt Dabney at 6pm at A Church in Salida. Dabney is the former National Park Service Superintendent and Texas Parks and Wildlife Director. Many use public lands for recreation and business, but don’t know how those lands came to be in the public domain. Dabney will present the origin story of public lands, how they fit into federal and state governments, why most public lands are in the West, and the economic value. The event also serves as GARNA’s Annual Member Celebration and the evening will kick off with a short presentation of successes from the past year. Tickets are free and light refreshments will be served. Pre-registration is requested as space is limited. Visit GARNA.org or call 719-539-5106. About Walt Dabney: Walt Dabney graduated from Texas A&M (TAMU) in 1969 with a degree in Recreation and Park Management. He began his career with the National Park Service the summer of 1969 as a student trainee (ranger-Naturalist) at Old Faithful District of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.  He worked in numerous other National Parks, including time in Alaska and the Everglades and directly supervised the NPS Branch of Fire and Aviation Management at the National Fire Center in Boise, Idaho. He was selected to become the National Park Service Chief Ranger stationed in Washington D.C. and held that position for 5 1/2 years. Dabney began his permanent career with Texas Parks and Wildlife as the Director of State Parks in 1999 after having spent 30 years with the National Park Service. He helped bring significant organizational changes to the agency. After 43 years of park work, he retired in 2010. Dabney now lives in Buena Vista.
