Please designate the Hope Camp Trail as a bicycle route, or multi-use trail, within Saguaro National Park. The trail is important for connecting the Arizona Trail to the city of Tucson and its shared-use trail user pattern. The Arizona Trail offers mountain bikers a unique opportunity, We the mountain biking community owe a debt of thanks for Dale Shewalter for including us in his vision for the trail. Now that the hiking route is basically complete now is the time to start planning what the official bike route should be. Allowing bikes to continue on the trail to the Hope Camp trail will create a very diverse passage for bicyclist. From the pine trees of upper Gardner Canyon to the Saguaro Forest of the park. The Arizona Trail is already an amazing journey this small addition will help to make the AZT bike route the most it can be. Thank you for your consideration. The AZT bike route is one of the most amazing trails in the united states, and will only get better with this addition.
