Land Use Items
Off-Highway Vehicle Route Designation
Route Designation will be going on for the next 2 plus years. The entire process may sound over whelming, but not participating or not paying attention to it could allow the forest service to close your favorite trail. Route designation affects not only the trails you 4 wheel and hunt on but the trails you take to get to your favorite camping or hunting spot, marked or unmarked.
Some areas are getting a lot of attention, like the Rubicon Trail. That does not mean you shouldn’t review the maps for the Rubicon Trail or other area’s. You should review the maps that are being produced, as part of Route Designation, to make sure trails that you use or have used are listed. The more eyes on the maps the better. Trail maps are available at the Forest Service Offices or easier on the web at the forest service offices under Route Designation. Links to the web sites are on the
WWW.IH8MUD.com Pacific Mountain Cruisers Forum under Land Use. If you find a trail missing contact the forest service office for that area. Note that environmental groups and the Forest Service will be using this opportunity to close trails.
