There is still time to submit comments for the Bureau of Land Management Uncompahgre Field Office’s Proposed Business Plan!

We received notification from the USFS that the revision of the management plan governing the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forest (GMUG) is completed.
COPMOBA and many recreation focused partners (and many other interests) were involved in extensive information submission, evaluation, and comment to the USFS staff throughout an extended planning period.  The USFS works to balance the multi-use nature of public lands management.

The Ridgway Area Trails (RAT) team is thrilled to announce that the construction of new trails will begin this summer. This expansion project has been in the works for several years, with RAT collaborating with the BLM Uncompahgre Field Office to design and plan the addition of new trails. With more than 30,000 trail users at the RAT during the 7-month operating window annually, the construction of five new miles of trail will greatly improve the user experience and enhance safety on the trails. At completion, the RAT will feature nearly 30 miles of connected trails.
