(Brian Maffly | The Salt Lake Tribune) Cycling coach Jesse Atwood, standing on the table, addresses members of the Uintah High School mountain bike team before a practice ride Oct. 7, 2019, at the McCoy Flats trail complex outside Vernal. Like many of the other trails under development in Uintah County, the McCoy Flats loops cross state trust lands, which are embedded among public lands in checkerboard sections. Trust lands officials are concerned Utah's expansion of trail-oriented recreation could inhibit mineral development on these lands, which are to be managed to raise money for public education.
