The Senate has unanimously passed the EXPLORE Act, which is now headed to President Biden’s desk for signing. The House passed it in April. As this article points out, the bill includes the Biking on Long Distance Trails Act (BOLT) to identify and create more long-distance bike trails, the Protecting America’s Rock Climbing Act (PARC) to safeguard Wilderness climbing, the Simplifying Outdoor Access for Recreation Act (SOAR) that will improve recreational permitting for outfitters and guides, and permanent direction for the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership and FICOR.
Never saw the passage of this bill coming, But glad it is becoming law before January 20, 2025.
