On November 2, 2005, the Forest Service announced a new regulation governing off-highway vehicles and other motor vehicle use on national forests and grasslands. The new rule requires each national forest or ranger district to designate roads, trails, and areas open to motor vehicle use. To comply with the rule, the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests and Thunder Basin National Grassland developed an Action Plan for implementation of the new Travel Management Rule. The Action Plan is flexible and will be updated as implementation progresses. The Action Plan Key Points are available for your review.
Mountain Pine Beetle Safety Information
The Forest Service wants you to enjoy the national forest AND return home SAFE.
​
Please use caution when visiting National Forest System lands impacted by the mountain pine beetle infestation. Dead trees can and do fall without warning and with little or no help from the wind. Everyone who visits the national forest needs to be very aware of their surroundings. More and more trees are expected to fall over the next several years. Trees typically begin falling within 3-5 years of beetle kill and continue to fall for the next 10-15 years. Some trees have been dead for as many as 10 years. Please keep in mind the following guidelines.

ADDITIONAL WARNING: Please be safe and aware in recent burn areas.
