Motor vehicle use, especially off-highway vehicle use,

involves inherent risks that may cause property
damage, serious injury, and possibly death to
participants. Drive cautiously and anticipate rough
surfaces and features, such as snow, mud, vegetation,
and water crossings common to remote driving
conditions. By your participation, you voluntarily
assume full responsibility for these damages, risks, and
dangers. Take care at all times to protect yourself and
those under your responsibility.

Operating a motor vehicle on National Forest System

roads, National Forest System trails, and in areas on
National Forest System lands carries a greater
responsibility than operating that vehicle in a city or
other developed setting. Not only must you know and
follow all applicable traffic laws, you need to show
concern for the environment as well as other forest
users. The misuse of motor vehicles can lead to the
temporary or permanent closure of any designated road,
trail, or area. As a motor vehicle operator, you are also
subject to State traffic law, including State
requirements for licensing, registration, and operation
of the vehicle in question.

OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES

The designation "road or trail open to all motor

vehicles" does not supersede State traffic law.

www.fs.usda.gov/gmug

In Case of Emergency Dial 911

Designated roads, trails and areas may also be subject

to temporary, emergency closures. As a visitor, you
must comply with signs notifying you of such
restrictions. A national forest may issue an order to
close a road, trail or area on a temporary basis to
protect the life, health, or safety of forest visitors or the
natural or cultural resources in these areas. Such a
temporary and/or emergency closures are consistent
with the Travel Management Rule (36 CFR 212.52 (b),
36 CFR 261 subpart B).

It is the responsibility of the user to acquire the

current MVUM. This MVUM shows the National
Forest System roads, National Forest System
trails, and the areas on National Forest System
lands in the Grand Mesa National Forest that are
designated for motor vehicle use pursuant to 36
CFR 212.51. This MVUM also identifies the
vehicle classes allowed on each route and in each
area; and any seasonal restrictions that apply on
those routes and in those areas.
Designation of a road, trail, or area for motor
vehicle use by a particular class of vehicle under 36
CFR 212.51 should not be interpreted as
encouraging or inviting use or implying that the
road, trail, or area is passable, actively maintained,
or safe for travel. Motor vehicle designations
include parking along designated routes and at
facilities associated with designated routes when it
is safe to do so and when not causing damage to
National Forest System resources.
Seasonal
weather conditions and natural events may render
designated roads and trails impassable for
extended periods. Designated areas may contain
dangerous or impassable terrain. Many designated
roads and trails may be passable only by highclearance vehicles or four-wheel-drive vehicles.
Maintenance of designated roads and trails will
depend on available resources, and many may
receive little maintenance.

240000

The designations shown on this motor vehicle use

map (MVUM) were made by the responsible
official pursuant to 36 CFR 212.51; are effective as
of the date on the front cover of this MVUM; and
will remain in effect until superseded by next year's
MVUM.
