Recently the Bureau of Land Management released the Draft Travel Management Plan for the Labyrinth Rims/Gemini Bridges area. This is located in Southern Utah between Green River and Moab. World class OHV riding is found in this area and it’s extremely popular for many user groups. With National Parks, National Monuments and Wilderness Areas surrounding the Labyrinth Rims/Gemini Bridges Area it is crucial that we fight for every inch in this Travel Management Planning Process.

Areas and trails such as, Hey Joe Canyon, Ten Mile Canyon, Hell Roaring Canyon, Golden Spike, Gold Bar Rim, Rusty Nail, Day Canyon Point, Dead Man Point, Bull Canyon, 3D/Mashed Potatoes Jeep trails, Dead Cow and Tubes motorcycle trails are being proposed for closure. Parts of Where Eagles Dare, Buttes and Towers, Wipe Out Hill, and 7 Mile Rim also will be potentially closed to OHV use.

Our team recently made it to Moab to document some of the trails that will be impacted by this plan and lead the way in educating the outdoor recreation community to make their voices heard. BRC’s work was featured in a full segment of At Your Leisure, which you can view here:

We also started a new series on our Youtube channel called “Boots on the Ground” to give you on the ground knowledge of what you need to know to help us fight for these trails.

You can view the first episode of “Boots on the Ground” here:

We continue to update our information about this plan as we take a deeper dive into the details. We strongly encourage everyone who supports outdoor recreation access to submit a comment and tell BLM to keep this area open. Comments are being accepted until October 7, 2022

Please help us share this with your friends, family, and clubs.

Defend Your Ground.
