The BLM is specifically looking at two areas in the Oquirrhs. The first is in Tooele County near Lakepoint and Erda. The other is in Rose Canyon and Yellow Fork on the Salt Lake County side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"739\" height=\"786\" src=\"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-11.36.54-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-11.36.54-PM.png 739w, https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-11.36.54-PM-282x300.png 282w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"639\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-11.36.17-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-11.36.17-PM.png 639w, https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screenshot-2020-07-15-at-11.36.17-PM-273x300.png 273w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Oquirrh Foundation supports the development of non-motorized trails within these study areas. We believe these trails will allow residents in surrounding communities a safe way to access the Oquirrhs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a moment right now to support the development of new non-motorized trails in the Oquirrhs by submitting a comment on the study page. This is a rare opportunity to share comments with the BLM, and we want them to know how important this mountain range is to the residents that live nearby. So much of the Oquirrhs are closed off to the public and the few areas of public land are difficult to access. While we love the rugged and solitary nature of hiking in the Oquirrhs, we believe improving access for responsible recreation for more people will increase support for preserving other areas at risk of development. So please comment now using the link below. The comment period ends on July 16th. Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eplanning.blm.gov\/eplanning-ui\/project\/1505414\/580\">https:\/\/eplanning.blm.gov\/eplanning-ui\/project\/1505414\/580<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to submit a comment<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BLM has proposed moving forward with new trails in the Oquirrhs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":311,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[5,8,7],"class_list":["post-310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-blm","tag-oquirrh-mountains","tag-trails"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=310"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":331,"href":"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310\/revisions\/331"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oquirrhfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
