OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES

 As a motor vehicle operator on a National Forest

System road, trail, or area, you must comply with this map,

as well as all Federal, State, and local laws and

regulations. Compliance with these rules is 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.

 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.

 Much of the Sierra National Forest is remote. Medical

assistance may not be readily available. Cellular telephones

do not work in many areas of the Sierra National Forest.

Take adequate food, water, first-aid supplies, and other

equipment appropriate for the conditions and expected

weather.

 ALWAYS REMEMBER TO RESPECT PRIVATE LAND!

PROTECT YOUR PRIVILEGE. STAY ON DESIGNATED

ROADS AND TRAILS AND IN DESIGNATED AREAS.

 Read and understand this map in its entirety. If you have

questions please contact the Sierra National Forest for

clarification.

Motor vehicles may be parked within one

vehicle length from the edge of the road

surface when it is safe to do so without

causing damage to NFS resources or

facilities, unless prohibited by state law, a

traffic sign, or an order (36 CFR261.54).

PURPOSE AND CONTENTS 

OF THIS MAP

 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.

 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 high-clearance vehicles or four-wheeldrive vehicles. Maintenance of designated roads and

trails will depend on available resources, and many may

receive little maintenance.

 It is the responsibility of the user to acquire the current

MVUM. This map shows the National Forest System

roads, National Forest System trails, and the areas on

National Forest System lands in the Sierra National

Forest that are designated for motor vehicle use

pursuant to 36 Code of Federal Regulations (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.

 This motor vehicle use map identifies those roads,

trails, and areas designated for the motor vehicle use

under 36 CFR 212.51 for the purpose of enforcing the

prohibition at 36 CFR 261.13. This is a limited purpose.

The other public roads are shown for information and

navigation purposes only and are not subject to

designation under the Forest Service travel management

regulation.

 These designations apply only to National Forest

System roads, National Forest System trails, and

areas on National Forest System lands.

PROHIBITIONS

 Violators of 36 CFR 261.13 are subject to a fine of up to

$5,000, imprisonment for up to 6 months, or both (18 U.S.C.

3571(e)). This prohibition applies regardless of the presence

or absence of signs.

 This map does not display nonmotorized uses, oversnow uses, or other facilities and attractions on the Sierra

National Forest. Obtain forest visitor information from the

local national forest office.

 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 temporary and/or emergency closures are

consistent with the Travel Management Rule (36 CFR

212.52 (b), 36 CFR 261 subpart B).

 The designation "road or trail open to all motor vehicles"

does not supersede State traffic law.
