American Fork CitizenLone Peak Press New Utah - Forest Service celebrates trail restoration along Wasatch Harlow Clark An aerial photograph of Lindon shows an intricate mess of trails and roads at the base of the mountain, 12.6 miles all told. "That would be 40,000 (miles) on the whole Uinta National Forest if it were proportional," according to Uinta National Forest Supervisor Pete Karp, who spoke press conference Sept. 16 at the Dry Canyon trailhead. Karp and others talked about Forest Service plans for restoring the land and how restoration will be done. Karp lives in Orem, not far from Dry Canyon and watched the damage being done. A year ago USFS, the Trust for Public Land, and Lindon City completed a deal with developer David Allen to save 200-plus acres below Dry Canyon from development. Now that it's public land, Karp said, he can watch the damage repaired. Lindon mayor Larry Ellertson joked about getting get-ting lost on all the illegal roads. "Not all lands are created equal," he said. "This is land that needed to be saved." District Ranger Pam Gardner said illegal roads started appearing in the foothills in 1989 after the Big Baldy fire. The Forest Service opened a fire break then closed it, but people on ATVs reopened it, and added more. Gardner said techniques for closing the roads were developed to close temporary roads opened for timber sales. Midway offers hiking, fishing, skiing and warm springs Harlow Clark Midway is home to many attractions during all seasons. sea-sons. It hosted the biathlon and cross country skiing at Soldier Hollow during the 2002 Winter Olympics. Soldier Sol-dier Hollow has a day lodge, and it still has a tube run with several lanes and cross country skiing. Soldier Hollow Hol-low hosts events like high school cross country meets. Sept. 22 it hosted the Utah High School Crosscountry Cross-country Running Meet. For more information on Soldier Hollow call 435-654-2002. The Provo River cuts through Midway running between Jordanelle reservoir reser-voir and Deer Creek reservoir. reser-voir. Both reservoirs are state parks, and Wasatch Mountain State Park is in Fall Decorating Items On Sale Now! Techniques include closing clos-ing off the illegal roads with boulders and gates and using trackhoes to make the roads too rough for ATVs, and difficult to walk. Tree stumps and logs will often be scattered on the roads and they'll be reseeded. One way of roughening the road is to use a track-hoe's track-hoe's bucket to create overlapping over-lapping divots, which catch water and sediment. "It's very difficult to reestablish vegetation after the topsoil is gone," Gardner said. The divots trap fine soil and moisture, making them very good seedbeds. The Forest Service will close two miles of roads this year and hope to close two to three miles a year until the area is restored, Gardner said. USFS will have lots of help from volunteers, including hunters. Jo Proctor Proc-tor of Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources coordinates coordi-nates 4,000 volunteers with the Dedicated Hunter program. pro-gram. "Hunters are learning that the Forest Service and Wildlife Resources are not, as they put it, 'bad guys,'" Proctor said. Hunters have taken ownership of the problem, and Wildlife Resources is glad to be partners part-ners with them, Proctor said. Beside closing illegal roads, local, state and federal feder-al agencies have been working work-ing to open trails as well. The Bonneville Shoreline Trail cuts through Dry Canyon trailhead.

"We hope to have 250 miles," Price said. BST starts at Nephi and "will run to the Idaho border, and there's excitement in Preston, Pre-ston, Idaho about extending it." Hugh Jacobs of Back Country Horsemen said his group is also involved in preserving and restoring the area, and that it promotes pro-motes "the common sense use of trails." Other trail news came from Russell Hillman field coordinator for Rep. Chris Cannon. He said Sen. Robert Bennett put $1.8 million for the project in a bill, and another bill will help the Provo River Water Users Association pipe the Murdock Canal, which will become a trail system. He thinks both bills will pass because, "Congress is in a hurry-up-and-pass mode." Karp says Uinta National Nation-al Forest is one of the smallest, small-est, but with 2 million visitors visi-tors each year, is 20th busiest even "without a major ski area." Shortly after the press conference broke up, Erik Jacklin of Cedar Hills gave an example of the forest's use, coming by on a 27-speed 27-speed mountain bike. He had set out from work at Eclipse Marketing in Provo, ridden 7.8 miles in Provo Canyon, then picked up the BST, which would take him home. Contact Harlow Clark at harlowclarkjuno.com. spnngs.
