Great news from the Dolores Ranger District of the USDA Forest Service - San Juan National Forest!
Update on wolf reintroduction:Governor Polis just told the CO Wildlife Commission to not use the full amount of planning time allotted for wolf introduction. He wants to see wolves on the ground by the first half of next year. ![]()
![]()
Prop 114 is allowed until December 31, 2023, for complete planning for wolf introduction. The rules are changing yet again. Rural Colorado, tourism, hunting, economies, and those who care about due process are being disregarded. ![]()

Colorado Wildlife Commission, you have a hefty decision to make. Take a measured approach and the time allowed by Prop 114 or ignore the voters and the resources you have been entrusted to manage. ![]()
![]()
The commission will begin a debate on this tomorrow. Email them and ask them to take the full allowed time under Prop 114 for planning and ensure all stakeholder concerns are heard.![]()

The Trails Preservation Alliance (TPA) is continuously working for you and after an 8-year long fight, we are nearing the finish line. The TPA has filed objections to the Pike San Isabell National Forest (PSINF) Record of Decision (ROD) Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).![]()
![]()
At this point, we have kept a number of routes open and opened a few that had been closed. We are not out of the woods yet, but we will continue to strive for positive outcomes!![]()

🔷 A Little History![]()
![]()
In 2012 various environmental groups including The Quiet Use Coalition, Great Old Broads for Wilderness, The Wilderness Society, WildEarth Guardians, and Rocky Mountain Wild sued the (PSINF) claiming they had not done the necessary Environment Assessment (EA) on hundreds of roads and trails within the six ranger districts encompassing all PSINF land East of the Continental Divide from Rampart Range to Walsenburg. In 2015 the PSINF settled and agreed to complete EA’s on all of the contested routes, and the scoping phase began shortly thereafter in 2016. Late in 2019, the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was released with five possible alternatives that would determine the future of hundreds of motorized routes within the PSINF. Late in 2020, a Record of Decision (ROD) was released approving Alternative C which, along with some additions, has been fairly favorable to the motorcycle community.![]()

Because the TPA has been leading the efforts to protect Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) recreation since this lawsuit began we can place objections to this final ROD. Defending off-highway motorcyclists and ALL OHV users' rights to access public lands and ensure the USFS allots a fair and equitable amount of land to accommodate OHV use for the increased demand that it continues to experience is a fundamental part of the TPA’s mission.![]()

Remember, we don't make the rules we just share them.OHV or Snowmobile?![]()

Once your ATV, Side By Side, or Dirt Bike is converted with tracks for "Over The Snow" use, it must be separately registered as such with Colorado Parks and Wildlife? ![]()
You have essentially converted your originally manufactured dirt-use OHV into a snowmobile.![]()
