CRAIG, Colo. – Today the Bureau of Land Management issued a decision on travel designations for roads and trails across approximately 350,000 acres of BLM-administered land northwest of Craig in Moffat County.
“We arrived at this decision through a collaborative process with extensive public, Tribal and partner input,” said Little Snake Field Manager Bruce Sillitoe. “The result is a transportation network of roads and trails that balances providing public and authorized access with the protection of public land resources, including big game and sage grouse habitats.”
Travel Management Area 1 includes Hiawatha, Sand Wash, and Bears Ears Travel Planning Areas.
