Learn more about the history of U.S. public lands Bikepackers in the United States absolutely rely on public lands as a crucial component of the bikepacking experience so many of us seek. But few of us know much about how unique these public lands are from a global perspective, nor why we still have so many millions of acres of land within the public domain. The more that we, the general public and users of public lands, know about the history of just how this complex fabric of public domain lands came to be, the more effectively we can engage in dialogue about the current and future role and fate of such lands.
