Letter: An assault on our public lands
(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) In this May 10, 2014, file photo, Ryan Bundy, son of the Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, rides an ATV into Recapture Canyon north of Blanding, Utah, in a protest against what demonstrators call the federal government's overreaching control of public lands. Can it be true that the National Park Service, with no analysis or input from citizens or national park visitors, is planning to open all primary access and back roads in Utah’s national parks to OHVs for the ostensible reason that this will align policy in the parks with a Utah law passed in 2008, which allows OHVs on state and county roads if these vehicles are street legal?
