BLM Pinedale Field Office lifts Winter Range closures May 1st
by Bureau of Land Management
April 27, 2011

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Pinedale Field Office (PFO) is notifying the public that the annual prohibition on motorized vehicles in big game winter ranges will end on May 1.

The PFO requests that the public consider the harsh conditions encountered by wildlife this winter. Many animals are in poor condition and, with snow lingering in the higher elevations, remain on the winter ranges. Please use caution to avoid causing additional stress to these animals while winter-like weather conditions persist.

Outdoor recreationists are also reminded that motorized vehicle use on public land is limited to existing roads and two-track trails. Off-road, cross country travel by motorized means is not allowed.

The following BLM-administered lands will open to motorized vehicles on May

• The Ryegrass, Bench Corral, Deer Hills, Calpet and Miller Mountain winter ranges, including lands north of Fontenelle Creek, east of the U.S. Forest Service Boundary, west of Highway 189 and south of Horse Creek.
• The Mesa winter range, including lands east of County Road 110 (East Green River Road), north of County Road 136 (Paradise Valley Road), west of the New Fork River and south of State Highway 191.

A map of the winter range areas can be found at
