[QUOTE="Money Mark, post: 1428538, member: 16397"] [I]TRAIL CLOSURES BEING DISCUSSED: In response to public and internal concerns, the Naches District Ranger is considering a closure for trails on the district from December 15 through June 15. Typically, May is usually a rainy month. With snow in the high country and the effects of rain in lower elevations, trail use by motorized and some non-motorized users (bicycles and stock users) can greatly impact trails at this time of the year. In addition, efforts by Forest Service employees and user groups to clear these trails earlier in the season to make them ready for summer use have the potential to increase impacts. The more impacts in the early season, the harder it is for trail crews and volunteers to clear and repair trails. This leaves trails damaged going into the summer season, with volunteers and crews playing catch up. Crews often do not complete trail rehabilitation caused by early season use so work is carried over to the next season, compounding needed repairs. We are asking the public for suggestions on alternate closure dates or other suggestions to mitigate areas of concern. Send comments on how to mitigate trail damage due to early season use primarily during periods of snow melt, high precipitation or heavy use to [email]dsjenkins@fs.fed.us[/email]. [/I] [/QUOTE]
