We can now see what would happen if local control is given to our fragile western lands — rutted wheel tracks everywhere.
I love visiting Utah remote areas. I have the physical ability to visit remote areas in which ATVs hopefully can never access. Too bad those with physical limitations will soon only see accessible lands with torn up landscapes.
ATVs have plenty of trails to access. Leave BLM to control the few remaining wild areas we have.
