Show Notes
Frisco, Colorado, is collaborating with the White River National Forest Service to enhance the Backyard, a popular wooded area adjacent to town. The project involves upgrading trails, ski paths, and trailheads, with a focus on wildfire prevention following recent blazes. The Backyard attracts over 250,000 visitors annually, significantly boosting the local tourism economy. The project includes hand-cutting and piling beetle-killed pines for safe winter burns, while preserving other tree species. Work begins this summer, with plans to rebuild, add new paths, and officialize user-made trails, all while protecting historic mining sites. Partners include Denver Water, Summit County, and nonprofits, aiming to make trails safer and reduce wildfire risks.
