MAROON LAKE BIKE FEES CONSIDERED
Aspen—Cyclists aren’t too happy about having to pay a fee to ride to Maroon Lake. The U.S. Forest Service is considering a request from a volunteer committee to charge bike riders a fee. The committee advises the regional office on forest issues says if cyclists use the same facilities as people in cars, trucks and r-v’s then they should also pay a fee. A 10 dollar fee was imposed on vehicles a few years ago to drive to the Maroon Bells and at the same time a small fee was considered for cyclists. Angry Aspen residents fought against the idea and convinced the Forest Service to scrap the plan.
