After closing 612 miles of routes near Capitol Reef National Park that led to countless free, dispersed campsites, the Bureau of Land Management is now proposing to build a large developed campground. While BRC is not opposed to developed campgrounds, they should be in addition to— not instead of— dispersed camping experiences. BLM is taking public comments on the plan, so let’s make our voices heard via the form below.

Save Access to Grand Staircase-Escalante by Telling Congress to Fund the 2020 RMP, Not the 2025 Land Grab
The 11th-hour approval of a rushed 2025 update to plans for the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument dramatically restricted motorized access and dispersed camping. Congress has proposed to only fund the 2020 version of the plan which still protects natural resources while maintaining multiple-use access. Urge your representatives to support this proposal via the form below.
Western Solar Plan: 31 Million Acres of Public Land Fast-Tracked For Sale
With 700,000 acres of public land already approved for sale, including another 31 million acres fast-tracked for disposal, the Western Solar Plan, approved in 2024, represents one of the largest privatizations of public land in history. We are calling on Congress to rescind this plan, which adversely affects recreation, and need your voice for support in the form below.
Save Moab Update: Tell the BLM to Comply with the EXPLORE Act and Reopen Trails
Since the closure of over 317 miles of trails in Moab in 2023, BRC continues our legal challenge in federal court.

Off-Roaders Are Not Villains – Setting the Washington Post Article Straight
After our collective win on the reopening of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area to UTV’s and ATV’s, we were contacted by a reporter from the Washington Post wanting to cover the story. We had no illusions that a national news outlet would set aside the heavy bias...
Support BLM Proposal to Allow Class 1 E-Bikes on Moab Biking Trails
E-bikes are a vital access tool for older riders, people with physical limitations, and families with young children who want to recreate together. These bikes expand access while maintaining the spirit of non-motorized trail use. Class 1 e-bikes are low-powered pedal-assist bikes with no throttle and limited speeds, making them appropriate for shared-use trails without degrading the user experience.

Glen Canyon Dam Needs Same Protections as Snake River Dams
The move by the current administration to secure dams in the northwest must also be extended to secure the Glen Canyon Dam. Radical environmentalists have increased their efforts to dismantle the dam and drain Lake Powell— which provides clean, renewable energy to six states, supplies critical water to cities and farms throughout the southwest, and supports recreation and tourism critical to rural communities. We have prepared a letter at the bottom of this article to send to the White House, Department of Interior and your local representatives. Your support is needed!
BlueRibbon Coalition Backs Legal Opinion Affirming Presidential Authority Over National Monuments
The U.S. Department of Justice released a May 27 legal opinion asserting that the President holds the authority to shrink or abolish national monuments designated by predecessors—reversing a restraint held in place since 1938. This opinion opens the door to potential revocation of monument status, including recent designations like the Chuckwalla and Sáttítla sites in California and monuments that have been clouded in long term controversy like Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante.
