"The City of Bella Vista has worked with Erin Rushing and NWA Trailblazers closely over the past two years, through the planning and design phase, the construction of and recently the opening of a natural-surface shared-use trail system in our city. Erin has made the entire process easy for city personnel and Bella Vista residents alike, answering questions and addressing issues from each in a timely and knowledgeable manner. The NWA Trailblazers created a master trails plan for Bella Vista that will, when completed, rival any mountain biking trail system in the nation, and put Bella Vista on the map as a premier cycling destination."

Peter Christie, Mayor of Bella Vista, AR

"The fact that the trail system is always growing and improving makes each season of training enjoyable. I've trained all over the US and nothing compares to what we have in NWA. "

"The trails around Slaughter Pen are some of the best I have ever ridden. There are trails to accommodate all levels of rider ability and they there are many different entry points that are convenient to get too. "
