Travel Management planning

The Shoshone National Forest began the Travel Management planning process in June 2015. This process will designate a sustainable system of roads, trails, and areas that are open for motor vehicle use with public involvement. As a part of this process, the Shoshone National Forest is following the rules set forward in the 2005 Travel Management Rule.

Public comments from the project starting in 2015 can be found here: https://cara.fs2c.usda.gov.
