USFS releases Frisco Backyard EA proposing targeted fuel treatments, trail realignment and limited groomed winter use The Frisco Backyard Environmental Assessment, released April 4, proposes phased fuel mitigation across 63 smaller units, trail realignment that would decommission 10 miles and add 5 miles of trail, and limited winter grooming and fat-bike access on portions of the Recpath; the Forest Service and Summit County staff say the plan seeks to balance wildfire risk reduction with recreation management while coordinating with Colorado Parks and Wildlife on elk protections.

The U.S. Forest Service's new plan aims to balance wildfire risk reduction with enhanced recreational access in the popular Frisco Backyard area, impacting how hundreds of thousands of visitors experience the trails each year.
