fletchera@aspen.uml.edu asks whether mountain bikes should be allowed everywhere. Most rec.backcountry posters feel that mountain bikes
should not be allowed in designated wilderness in North America.
I have another question that I haven't seen discussed before.
Should paragliding be allowed in national parks or designated
wilderness?
Currently it is prohibited. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Paragliding has less impact on the landscape than hiking. It has a
visual impact when you see a paraglider flying overhead, but it is
little different than seeing a tent or another hiker, and much more
rare.
I am interested in your opinion. Feel free to post or send me mail.
