Rio Blanco County Trails Master Plan, Colorado

GOC led a process to develop a county-wide trails master plan for Rio Blanco County, Colorado. The County is over 2 million acres in size; of which, 75% is federal and State lands. The trails plan defines over 1,000 miles of recreation routes on existing and future roads and trails throughout BLM and US Forest Services lands. The recreation routes allows for multiple forms of trail-based recreation including OHV recreation, hunting, mountain biking, and others. The vision is to create a long distance trail system which provides exceptional recreation experiences that lead to economic growth in the County. An extensive public outreach process was managed and coordinated with a steering committee made up of government agencies, and recreation groups. The master plan defines destinations, trail types, trail locations, special recreation areas, and locations for related facilities. The plan also define priorities, organizational structure, funding and other types of support. The plan was completed in September, 2014. Client: Rio Blanco County.
