You're right about the 'mother nature' damage.  Much damage (and blockage) to the trails is definitely caused by wind, snow, etc.  And horses and mules are used to carry people and equipment up to deal with it -- cutting and removing fallen trees that are blocking the trails is a big deal around here in the early summer.  Without the maintenance, hikers and bikers would have a heck of a time getting through and around the debris.

One thing we may want to stress to the opposition groups is that the largest cause of trail damage (at least locally) is the winter rain, ice, snow and wind storms. All trails, regardless of usage, seem to be fairly equally damaged by Mother Nature herself?
