The SDEIS/GMP provides a discussion and environmental analysis of the two new alternatives together with the original alternatives. The NPS has selected a new preferred alternative for the supplemental draft that has been designated as Alternative F. Implementation of Alternative F would increase the opportunities for the NPS to expand use to local visitors and increase connectivity to neighboring communities. It would provide diverse opportunities for recreational use and different types of trail linkages to city and county parks. It would also eliminate features of the original draft GMP/EIS that received broad public objections following its release.
