Utah republicans can vote for Phil Lyman for Governor on June 25th. He served time for protesting against BLM encroachment. We need a fighter as Governor, not a yes-man like we currently have…

Thank you Rocky Mountain for helping take a stand and educating riders on how to be involved.

Why do we have to choose between their trash options?! How about we do NONE OF THEM and leave the riding areas open????

It's not just this one area. The entire southern half of Utah has already been closed or under treat of being closed. It's becoming very scary what our government is doing. I just submitted mine and there are only 15 total submissions. No wonder everything is closing because no one participates.

I'm 70 now, and no longer ride heavy duty off road (Though I still trail ride). I spent a lot of time riding in the "Swell" back in the 70's and early 80's. They have been trying to shut down the Swell ever since then. It was under consideration for a National Park in the late 80's. We managed to stop that one, but the environmentalists have never given up and never will. You have to keep fighting to keep your right to ride. Every rider should join groups like the Blue Ribbon Coalition, as riders are considered politically insignificant otherwise.

For proper land conservation that addresses a growing sport, opening more trails would be the more prudent thing to do. Displacing more riders over a larger area will lessen any "perceived" negative environmental impact and allow the community to grow in a safe, supportive and sustainable fashion. Proper land management would recognize existing & growing user groups rights & responsibilities and address them by a minimum of "Close one trail down, open a new one up on equal or greater value" Working together to create a better more sustainable trail network system should not be "risk avoidance only"

Wow, this is a bucket-list trail. We’re planning a trip there next year.

[smileyhansen]

Get busy, join the blue ribbon coalition, join your local trail group, do some trail work. Get active in the fight to keep trails open, don’t expect someone else to do it for you. Keep these trails open for future generations.

[Mr_Eyeholes]

And why exactly do my comments that name the organization behind these restrictions keep getting deleted? Do you not want people to learn about them, what they're planning beyond this, and how they're taking our recreational land away?

[carlatamanczyk]

Motorized users better save up some $$ and prepare to support litigation to stop this when or if it comes to that.
Gather all your riding friends far and near and get them to support keeping areas open. Also contact one or two legal foundations for assistance if it looks like its going that direction.. AND DEFINITELY SUPPORT THE BLUE RIBBON COALITION..!! LONG-TERM.

Thanks for the update, unfortunately that link of email has been deleted....

[DADSGETNDOWN]

They don't "need" to touch ANY of it.
Choosing one of the choices rather than saying NONE, leave them and us alone.
Just gives them another Mile and alot more momentum and control.

[moosegmc]

Its upsetting that we have to give up ANY trails, but alternative D is definitely the lesser of the evils.

[CarolMoulton]

If the officials deciding this are elected officials they are our employees and can be fired, ie this is a legal stand. Check it out. I have dealt with this kind of stuff all my life and it works. Get someone you want making decisions elected in their place. When they realize what you are doing they start paying attention to you. They don't want to lose their jobs. I am an 84 year old female and they listened to me every time. I educated myself and knew where I stood in the situation they didn't. They behaved better when they learned.

[OhioSuperSport]

What's the reason for closing down riding areas? This is just like people complaining of street racing while constantly closing down motorsport facilities. Our riding areas are constantly under attack and have been for decades.

[darrenmackenzie]

Who’s responsible for trying to close the trails ? And what’s their reasoning for the closure?

[TrentHafen]

I ride where I please, catch me if you can 🤣 all things aside it’s ridiculous that they’re squeezing us out in Utah, even Idaho, and other states so we shall fight and keep riding.

[Yardstick]

It would probably be a good idea for people to read the Utah BLM's guide on "How to make a Substantive Comment".
