    Default GUNNISON FOREST CHANGES THIS YEAR



    GUNNISON FOREST CHANGES THIS YEAR

    Following are changes visitors should expect in the Gunnison National Forest this summer, according to the U.S. Forest Service:

    ■ A five-year forest supervisor order is intended to resolve parking and access issues near the Irwin Lodge outside Crested Butte. It includes parking and travel prohibitions on part of the Irwin Lodge Road. For details, go to “Alerts and Notices” at http://www.fs.usda.gov/gmug.

    ■ A one-year order prohibiting dispersed camping on the forest in the Tincup area northeast of Gunnison was issued due to the need for more active management there because of the intensity of use.

    In 12 corridors, motor vehicles will be allowed to travel no more than 30 feet, or about one vehicle length, from designated routes for dispersed camping. The corridors include:

    ■ Washington Gulch, Forest Road 811, from the forest boundary to Elkton.

    ■ Slate River corridor, Forest Road 734 (County Road 734), from the forest boundary to private land at Pittsburg.

    ■ Kebler Pass corridor, Forest Road 826, County Road 12, from the forest boundary to above Irwin Campground ending at private lands, to the top of Ohio Pass and Kebler Pass, and up the Splains Gulch Road.

    ■ Cement Creek corridor, Forest Road 740 and 740.2C, D, E, from the forest boundary to Deadman trail head.

    ■ Spring Creek corridor, Forest Road 744, from the forest boundary to a quarter mile beyond junction of forest roads 744 and 880.

    ■ Taylor Canyon, Forest Road 742 (camping only in developed campgrounds from Almont to Rivers End campground).

    ■ Taylor River corridor, from the junction with Cottonwood Pass Road (Forest Road 742) to Dorchester campground.

    ■ Quartz Creek corridor, Forest Road 765, from the forest boundary past Pitkin to Hall Gulch Road junction.

    ■ Middle Quartz Creek, Forest Road 767, from the junction with Forest Road 765 to Middle Quartz Creek Campground.

    ■ Long Branch, Forest Road 780, from the forest boundary to Baldy Lake and Long Branch trail heads.

    ■ Needle Creek Reservoir corridor, Forest Road 781, from the forest boundary to the upper end of Needle Creek Reservoir.
