Greetings Nordic United Members,
There are potential changes coming to winter usage in Cache Valley. The U.S. Forest Service proposes to implement a new winter usage fee at Green and Smithfield Canyons, Sinks, Murray Farm, and Tony Grove trailheads. Users can choose to purchase a $60 annual pass that allows unlimited access to all winter trailheads or a $10 multiday or $20 weekly pass. Alternatively, America the Beautiful pass can be purchased for $80, which also gives access to National Parks and other Forest Service fee usage areas around the country.
The purpose of this correspondence is to encourage each of you to consider how these new fees
might affect your winter usage experience and submit a comment! The comment period ends September 7th. You can submit a general comment to SM.FS.UWCFeeProp@usda.gov or trailhead specific comment at this website: https://usfs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=85f1787bb35d4ccab7ae83cf5bc 83fd8. The new fees will reshape the look of winter use in Cache Valley, please get involved and make your voice heard! Thank You, Nordic United Board |
