Link to USFS Alternative 6 'Preferred' Map (5.3 MB pdf file)


1. This is the map of the Forest Service's Preferred Plan. This alternative will open up 280 more miles of roads and trails to Off Road Vehicles. You will notice that there are not many landmarks on this map which might make it difficult for you to figure out exactly what is being proposed by the Forest Service.

• Solid green lines are system roads that are OPEN TO HIGHWAY LEGAL VEHICLES - well maintained and drivable by all passenger cars
• Green and Black lines are system roads that are OPEN TO ALL VEHICLES – this includes ATVs and motorcycles – high clearance vehicles are advisable. Maintenance will decrease.
• Red and Black lines are system roads that will change from a highway legal road to an OPEN TO ALL VEHICLES road. The road will be allowed to deteriorate over time till only high clearance vehicles will have access.

OPEN TO ALL VEHICLES is not what it sounds like. It is doublespeak. Your access will decrease on these routes.

If you want any more information about whether your favorite area is going to be overrun by OHVs, please contact John Timmer.

2. This is a detail map showing access to Grouse Ridge via Bowman Road. All these roads will deteriorate over time because OHVs and dirt bikes will now have legal access to them. Because the Forest Service is underfunded and has no money to maintain these roads, you will soon be unable to drive these roads in your car. You would be forced to buy a high clearance vehicle to get to Grouse Ridge-which is a popular hiking area. (Map under construction.)
