NEW Site PUBLISHED! www.utahatvtrails.com is reality!

After months of planning and preparation and excellent cooperation from the Utah Powersports Dealers Association and Digital Extreme, my recreational persuits have transformed from journal entries to a published web site.

Of special note, I'd like to thank Bruce Steadman, of Steadman's in Tooele, Evan Glassett of the UPDA, and Jason Smith of Digital Extreme, without whose help this dream would have never come true.

Please be sure you save this new URL address on your list of favorites, or memorized URL sites so you can access the new address quickly.  The old site will be transformed to a link to the new site.

WCNF Comment Reminder:

We have two opportunities to demonstrate our support of motorized travel in the forest.  The first is a public comment session at Skyline High on October 16 5PM to 8PM.  It is very important that MANY OHV enthusiasts show up for this opportunity to comment.  I plan to throw in my two bits while there.  If you'd like to see what I'm going to say contact  me and I'll share it with you.  (Rumor has it that our archivist friends are actually paid for attending, sorry, but the only pay you'll get the the opportunity to continue riding)

November 1 is the last date to comment in writing to the WCNF (Wasatch Cashe National Forest)  Several of the forest management plans proposed would exclude ATV riders from the forest in material ways.  If those plans are adopted you had better be able to hike great distances or you will never be able to see some of the most beautiful parts of the forest again. 

The WCNF has already closed most of the Wasatch Front canyons to motorized travel.  This only increases the burden on the environment in other locations.  We need more motorized trails, not less.

Here is the addresses you can use to make comment in writing to:
Address:

 Wasatch-Cache National Forest
8236 Federal Building
125 S State St
Salt Lake City, UT 84138
Phone:(801) 524-3900

The more specific you are about where you would like to see remain open and how we should expand the opportunities to ride, not further restrict them, will increase the usefulness of our efforts.

Please take a few minutes and do this today.  If you have done this, Good Job!
