Motorized Trails Committee schedules volunteer trail projects and BLM scouting
Loading...
Summary
The committee set dates for Sevenmile Rim, Slick-Fins and Sovereign Trail volunteer projects, advised conservative paint-blazing consistent with BLM norms, and planned scouting with BLM for Determination Towers fencing options.
The Grand County Motorized Trails Committee scheduled several volunteer and project days and discussed how to balance on-the-ground marking with BLM guidance.
Committee members set a Feb. 21 Sevenmile Rim paint-refresh starting at 10 a.m. at the Mill Canyon parking area and a Feb. 24 Slick-Fins dot-route project to place logs at the Fins staging lot. Members emphasized that paint blazes should be conservative and aligned with Bureau of Land Management norms; Mark Pope said crews should "look at the near horizon as to the route to follow" and be reluctant to add new paint blazes.
Mark also raised fencing at Determination Towers and recommended an on-site scouting visit with BLM before deciding between buck-and-rail or post-and-cable options; Clif Koontz agreed to invite BLM to the Feb. 21 activity. The committee listed Fallen Peace Officer Trail as a backup site for the Spring Spruce Up. The March 7 Sovereign Trail project will meet at the Utahraptor State Park visitor center.
Volunteers and partner groups were assigned roles for the Moab Guide Summit table on March 12 and were reminded to preregister for the summit. The committee asked members to send geotagged photos and location data to help finalize kiosk and signage locations for RTP and OHV grant applications.
