      One day, all of the decommissioned trails of Fromme will be reopened

      Walked the trail today, along with upper Jerry Rig. Most of the features have been destroyed and it isn’t possible to ride more than 20 feet at a time without needing to climb over some sort of obstacle. The surviving features are mostly low consequence skinnies covered in the slipperiest slime imaginable.

      Will it permanently be closed? Is this really the end?
