Help Save Moab Trails
03/27/15 at 21:04:41

The Grand County Council has identified over 100 miles of road closures in it's public lands initiative to be submitted to congressman Rob Bishop. These closures include 10 Mile Wash Road and seasonal closures on Hey Joe Canyon, Hell Roaring Canyon, and Dead Cow Loop. What's worse is that they have not put in any protections against future road and trail closures. Please click on the link on the ATV Utah home page for the Blue Ribbon Coalition for information on who to contact to make your voice heard. The deadline for this is March 31, 2015. Exclaim

What is Grand County thinking? Closing Hey Joe, 10 mile wash and other trails? How exactly does this help Grand County?

We all no it sucks to take the time to do it, but it can also give you a chance to voice your option on how you feel about these selfish tree huggers trying to take our public lands away. �

Their online data doesn't say much to me and I can't quite discern their MAP. Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!! You need to or !!

I heard on the local Moab radio station all week that they may close Hey Joe for part of the year though they never said it was a done deal. We went and rode the trail on Monday and there were 6 jeeps, two pickup trucks, 4 sxs, and three atv's using the trail. During the entire ride, we saw exactly two river rafters. Hmmmm......lets see, this is a real tough choice.......tick off a few boaters or a whole bunch of riders. Roll Eyes

Come on Grand County, think about it!

Let the good times roll.......
