“It’s great to see their excitement, it’s great to see them being physically active and have these opportunities for recreating in the coulees.”“We do see a lot of trail erosion from the rainstorms that come through, and it wrecks the trails and you get ruts in the trails,” he said.“As a mountain biker, that can trap you and increase the likelihood of crashing.
“If you look at a lot of the rogue trails out there, some of them were really well done and it was just some dude with a shovel.” Despite the Lethbridge Trail Alliance taking the lead on this ongoing project, the city said the pathways are still for everyone. “Those trails represent recreational opportunities for all users,” said Andrew Sommerville, parks planning manager at the City of Lethbridge. “It’s for trail runners, hikers, mountain bikers, families, photographers, nature lovers — it’s really for everyone.”Viewed
