Yes, it is politically feasible. Former President Bush, and avid mt biker himself, opened the door for this dialogue in 2008. Google his name along the words "bike" and "national park" and you can read for yourself.

Second, designating trails as either hiking, mtb or horses alleviates congestion and many safety issues. Tsali uses this system, allowing each user group access to its trail system on a rotating basis-- mtb can use specific trails on specific days of the week.

Lastly, why shouldn't mtb be permitted to enjoy the NP just as hikers, fishermen, horseback riders, etc..? It belongs to us too?
