    The National Park Service (NPS) is proposing a new rule to allow bicycles on approximately 79.8 miles of multi-use trails in the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. This proposal is part of a comprehensive trail management plan aimed at improving access, accommodating the needs of the growing nearby city of Redding, and reopening trails impacted by the Carr Fire in 2018. The NPS plans to designate these trails for bicycles in a way that balances recreational use with the conservation of natural and cultural resources. Public comments on the proposed rule are being accepted until February 28, 2025.

    The National Park Service has decided that allowing bicycles on the Visitor Center Connector Trail in Arches National Park is compatible with the park’s goals and will not harm wildlife or resources. The 0.26-mile paved path connects to the park's visitor center and intends to enhance safety for cyclists who currently travel on a narrow road shoulder. An Environmental Assessment found no significant environmental impacts, and the trail meets national guidelines for shared use paths. Public comments on this decision will be accepted until February 22, 2021.
