Passage of America's Redrock Wilderness Act will shut down ORV use throughout Utah. Most boundaries of proposed wilderness areas are defined by vehicle routes, which means that those routes will remain open to ORV use. According to BLM and State of Utah data, at least 104,000 miles of dirt roads, vehicle routes, and vehicle trails open to ORV use in Utah would remain open if America's Redrock Wilderness Act were passed. Thousands of miles of additional ORV routes outside proposed wilderness would also remain open if America's Redrock Wilderness Act were passed. Plenty of areas would remain for ORV users to visit even if all 9.1 million acres of redrock wilderness were designated by Congress.
Roads are the only form of access available to most citizens.
Access to areas designated as wilderness would remain excellent and much as it is today. It's also a question of balance. There are places where solitude should reign supreme, where wildlife should be left alone, places where the sight, sound, and smell of internal combustion engines should not be found at all. Under America's Redrock Wilderness Act, fifteen percent of Utah's spectacular and incomparable landscapes would be preserved. ORV use is consistent with other uses of the land.
