Many trails in the West were the result of mining and logging operations. They were not just recreationalists blazing their own trails. Many of these trails are 100 years old.
There has been a huge growth in off-roading. There are just too many people now for everyone to decide when and where there should be a new trail as dictacted by their right foot, or a twist to the handle bar grip.
The time has come for off-roaders to start doing their own policing if trails are going to stay open. All it takes is a few yahoos to ruin it for everyone. The rangers can't be everywhere.
