Free maps available for Routt National Forest

New maps showing motorized routes on the Routt National Forest are now available free of charge at U.S. Forest Service offices in Steamboat Springs, Yampa, Kremmling and Walden, and the Forest supervisor’s office in Laramie, Wyo.

“The maps, along with signs on the ground, will help motorized users know where and when they are allowed to travel and with what types of vehicles,” said Forest Supervisor Mary Peterson. “It is the responsibility of motorized travelers to be aware of the legal designated routes and stay on them to ensure responsible use and enjoyment of the national forest.”



Information and maps are also available at http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/mbr/recreation/travel_management/mvumindex.shtml. New motorized use maps for the Medicine Bow National Forest and the Thunder Basin National Grassland will be available in 2008 and 2009, respectively.
