Organization: Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association

Year: 2012

Amount: $5,000

Type: MTB Trail

Address: Lunch Loop, Grand Junction, CO

When the value of land slated for development plummeted in the last recession, the Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association (COPMOBA) partnered with Mesa Land Trust to make the most of the situation. Our grant of $5,000 will help the organizations finalize the land purchase and develop trails on the Three Sisters property. This new network, adjacent to Grand Junction’s Lunch Loop trail system, will provide much-needed beginner-level trails and advance the bike path development that will link these trails with downtown.
