December 8 deadline for the Calico Basin RAMP is this Wednesday, December 8! If you love to recreate in Calico Basin or you love to mountain bike west of Summerlin, you’ll want to send in your comments. Please send your comments to: [email protected]
Here is a great sample letter by @snmba
Dear Mr. Prescott and Mr. Travers,
I am writing in response to the BLM’s proposed Calico Basin RAMP plan that currently does NOT allow mountain bikes in Calico Basin. I am asking that the BLM change the proposed RAMP plan to reflect current user needs and allow mountain bikes as authorized trail users within Calico Basin. Additionally, as there are a number of existing trails within Calico Basin that have not gone through the BLM’s examination process of natural and cultural resources, I am asking that the BLM work with local organizations such as SNMBA to work toward a pathway of recognition.
Sincerely,
Send comments to: [email protected]
