In case people aren't paying attention, there is a pretty significant movement already underway to close a bunch of trails in the Moab area:

There is already an appeal underway by the State of Utah:

I've been seeing a bunch on this subject. It isn't looking good.

Yeah... and apparently the Moab city council denied the 2024 permit application for the annual Bronco Roundup (think Easter Jeep Safari for the Bronco guys) :(

Ya I saw that. There is talk of moving it to sand hollow.

Just happened to notice in this month’s Tri-Power that there is a story about this… the legal battle about it. Be sure to check it out. If you didn’t get the email, be sure to let me know so I can fix/confirm you email with PNW.
