The South Sand Wash Open OHV area in Colorado provides great OHV recreation in the Little Snake Field Office in northwest, Colorado. The area is used for OHV’s, dispersed camping and enduro races. The area is also popular for wildlife viewing – including feral horses.
The proposal includes additional parking and staging areas, signage, restrooms, dumpsters, campsites, picnic tables, pavilion and shade structures. BRC supports the improvements and wants to ensure that designated campsites and recreation areas doesn’t take the place of dispersed camping and recreation long term. The open comment period isn’t to analyze the open OHV area. The analysis is limited to the additional facilities and improvements. The BLM is wanting to develop a recreation area management plan (RAMP) for continued use. Comments are accepted by the BLM through November 18, 2024. Let the BLM know your thoughts on the proposals and the needs for this area.

I think that increased access and staging areas along with more camping and bathrooms is a great idea!!! It’s refreshing to see a BLM office working with the people instead of against them!! Public land belongs to the people and should be managed as such!! Thank you for your forward thinking!!
