Hi everyone, I'm happy to see the positive response we have received over our Access Map Project. I manage the team that is currently collecting the video.
Just to clarify all road centerlines you see on the map are "claimed RS2477 Right of ways" by the county and the state of Utah. Our team is ground-truthing these routes to determine if they are open for motorized travel. So it is imperative that you cross-reference each route with the local land managers Motorized vehicle route maps, be it BLM or USFS, to determine if the route is open for motorized vehicle use. Be it car, truck, UTV, or ATV. You can also check with the local counties' road maps for further guidance. Access Map is only one additional tool you can use to research your trip.
WARNING* It is not guaranteed that the claimed RS2477 Right-of-way displayed on Access Map is currently opened to motor vehicle traffic. The State of Utah makes no claim that these roads are open to vehicular traffic. They are intended as a historical reference only to RS2477 Routes.
Before heading into Utah's wild places, it's important to check ahead to know if the trail you want to access is open to your mode of transportation. Land management agencies will often post this information on their website or have a number you can call to learn more. In case of changes, have a backup plan and always let someone know where you are going to be in case of emergencies.
Motor vehicle use maps (MVUM) show what trails are open to your type of vehicle. Some off-road trails are available to ATVs and UTVs but not full-sized vehicles. Riding on designated trails helps keep trails from widening, becoming damaged, and getting closed. By learning how to Tread Lightly! with a f
ree online awareness course, you can also help keep trails open, healthy and beautiful.
