Cherokee Indians may use the Fire Mountain Trails system as a test case to increase e-bike accessibility on national forest land. The system is mountainside built and easy to navigate. E-bike riders can also use it to ride the trails. What do land managers think about ebike access? Jeremy Hyatt, secretary of operations for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, has the final say. The trails were spearheaded by Cherokee landowners - a unique situation given that they are surrounded by national forest land.
It's easy to navigate through the trail system
Fire Mountain is an excellent place to get your adrenaline pumping, no matter if you are new to mountain biking or a seasoned veteran. The trail system is simple to use and has something for everyone. There are no steep or flat sections of trail, so riders can enjoy the mountain's diverse terrain. At the base of the mountain is the park's parking lot. You have two options after you descend: you can either go back up, or you can cruise leisurely.
It is built on a mountain side.
It is a mystery how mountains were built and how they came to be on the face of the Earth. Mountain building is a result of several geological processes. Tectonic plates can collide or override which causes mountains to rise and fall. This creates the mountain ranges we know today. Since decades scientists have attempted to understand the construction of mountain ranges. The Geographic Cycle was the first major model that was proposed in late 1800s. It proposed a hypothetical life-cycle for mountain ranges. This included tectonic and violent uplift followed by gradual erosion.
It is a pedaly downhill
Three different top-to bottom descents can be found at Fire Mountain. These trails don't offer technical or fall line sections but there are plenty of high-berms and grade reverses to keep your adrenaline pumping. This is unabashed "Type 1" fun for seasoned mountain bikers as well as those new to the sport. It's easy to navigate the trail with clear signage.
It is possible to use e-bikes.
Federal Judge has ruled that e-bikes can be allowed on fire mountain trails after a lawsuit was filed by conservation groups. The lawsuit claims that ebikes have a negative impact on wildlife and unpaved trails. The court decision will be reviewed. The group is currently developing a pilot study in the region to explore e-bike access. PeopleForBikes is one of the advocates for eMTB trails.
It is a valuable health resource for Cherokees
Cherokee Health System has operated in Eastern Tennessee since 1983. The majority of patients served are uninsured. Patients with these conditions are often restricted to copays or deductibles. These patients often have mental health problems, such depression. Many times, these patients are diagnosed with bipolar disorder and depression by doctors. A large percentage of homeless people in the area are also served by them.

The type of conditions you are looking to practice in will determine which option you choose.
