Part of the proceeds from this year&amp;#8217;s Five Bucks a Foot will also go to helping fund two new proposed sections of singletrack on Mills Peak that are currently in the planning stages.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;One section is proposed to connect the top of the Mills Peak Trail with the Round Lake Trailhead off Gold Lake Highway, creating five new miles of singletrack. The other section of trail in planning is the much anticipated bypass of the fire road midway down the singletrack descent. This new section of singletrack will be three miles in length. If approved by the U.S. Forest Service, Beckwourth Ranger District, riders will be able to pedal 16 miles of singletrack from Round Lake Trailhead all the way to Graeagle, taking the Mills Peak Trail to a whole new level.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;If there is any place the Stewardship can show off its rock-work artistry, it&amp;#8217;s in the Lakes Basin. In fact, virtually all of the trails in the Lakes Basin have been maintained and improved by the Stewardship, using sustainable rock armoring techniques, rock-lined drainages and elevated rock bridges over marsh areas to ensure that non-motorized recreation has as little impact on the habitat as possible.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;h2&gt;Related:&lt;\\/h2&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.bikemag.com\\/features\\/leaders-of-the-pack\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Feature: Leaders of the Pack&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
