National Forest

Motor Vehicle

Use Map

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

OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES

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 Inyo National Forest is remote. Medical

assistance may not be readily available. Cellular

telephones do not work in many areas of the Inyo 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 Inyo National Forest for

clarification.

PROHIBITIONS

It is prohibited to possess or operate a motor vehicle

on National Forest System lands on the Inyo National

Forest other than in accordance with these

designations (36 CFR 261.13).

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 Inyo

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 a 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.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits

discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of

race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where

applicable, sex, marital status, familial status, parental status,

religion, sexual orientation, genetic information, political

beliefs, reprisal, or because all or part of an individual's

income is derived from any public assistance program. (Not all

prohibited bases apply to all programs.) Persons with

disabilities who require alternative means for communication

of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.)

should contact USDA's TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600

(voice and TDD). To file a complaint of discrimination, write to

USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence

Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250-9410, or call (800)

795-3272 (voice) or (202) 720-6382 (TDD). USDA is an equal

opportunity provider and employer.

These designations apply only to National Forest

System roads, National Forest System trails, and areas on

National Forest System lands.

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.

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.

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 Inyo 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.

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-wheel-drive vehicles. Maintenance of

designated roads and trails will depend on available resources,

and many may receive little maintenance.
