A prime example of everyone working together is the Sequoia National Forest. Stewards of the Sequoia.
They have an awesome trail system and some wilderness areas too. Trails are multiple use with hikers, equestrian, mountain bikes and motorcycles. Very few ATV trails though as that makes the trails too wide.
Chris Horgan, Stewards Of The Sequoia does an excellent job working with all entities and are a fine example of what can be done when everyone works together.
On this issue in Utah it is not about the sensitive ruins, those would be considered ACEC (Areas of Critical Environmental Concern) and should be off limits but not a road that runs up the bottom of the canyon. As stated BLM thinks "managing" is "closing"
And think about how much land is NEVER experienced once it is made "wilderness" because only a small handful of people will ever make the effort to hike in miles and miles to see it? So we should shut everything done so only less than 1% of the population will ever see or experience it?
I do agree that ATV's can cause damage, unfortunately they are too easily accessed by un-educated individuals. 10% ruin it for 90%
