Don Amador on OHV Trail
The Recreation HQ believes that MTB, eMTB, and OHV trail
access interests have a lot in common and commends the joint effort between MTB
, OHV, and OSV interests to mount a legal challenge against recent trail and
area closures on the Bitterroot National Forest.
The BRC has posted a statement from the Bitterroot
Backcountry Cyclists about MTB success in the legal effort where the court
directs the agency to review their MTB restrictions.

Here is a News Article about the Decision
It's true that OHV and OSV got the short end of the stick on this travel plan, but at least the court is directing the agency to do it over regarding the MTB trail closures. A win for one of the trail groups could be considered a win for all of the plantiffs in this case. "A rising tide lifts all trails..."
The Recreation HQ believes joint efforts like this
between MTB, OHV, and OSV recreation groups could be a growing trend in
trail-based litigation. It is not just
the cross-over use between vehicles, but there is a common bond/interest in
preserving historic access to public lands.
Working together is more effective and productive.
