Take a gander at these photos folks. These were taken about a month ago in the Owl Pass, Alpine Trail, and Silver Jack Reservoir area, and it was such a beautiful sight to behold. Unfortunately, it may never look this way again in our lifetime. I guess it’s just part of the way that nature works (along with a terribly failed federal fire policy within federal lands), but I find it sad, just the same.

Hey Gang!
I just received this message:
“Just an FYI
We have one of our horse competitions all around Transfer Park, Jersey Jim & parts of the Aspen loops on July 17-19
In the past you guys have been very kind to pass that along to the motorized groups to be aware of the horse activity that weekend

Thank you for always being great to work with.”
Please be aware of this event, and (as usual) be courteous, kind, and demonstrate good trail etiquette. From the sound of it, this impacts the Aspen Loop, the Transfer staging/parking area, and probably Chicken Creek & Morrison Trails as well. I will likely plan to avoid the area, and recommend that for others as well.

It’s time to get out and tag some cows!!😳😉

This may just be the key opening many doors for authorized and appropriate motorized use on public land. This looks like a victory for us as motorized users of single track on public land. What do you think about it? Post your comments below.

Yesterday, President Trump rescinded Executive Orders 11644 and 11989, two directives that have shaped off-road vehicle management on federal lands for more than 50 years.

In April this year, the Trails Preservation Alliance joined numerous motorized recreation organizations in calling for these Executive Orders to be repealed.

In our letter to the White House, we argued that these directives were outdated, conflicted with modern multiple-use land management policies, and created barriers to public access and responsible recreation. A copy of that letter is available on our blog via the link in our bio.

Many of the same concerns raised by the motorized recreation community were reflected in the Administration's decision to rescind the orders and begin reviewing the regulations that were adopted under them.

Regardless of where you stand on the issue, this is an important reminder that unified voices matter.

When riders, clubs, businesses, and recreation advocates work together toward a common goal, they can help shape the conversation surrounding public lands and access.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to engage, advocate, and support responsible motorized recreation.

A move in the right direction.
