It certainly looks like an awesome place to visit and it's a shame when open public land doesn't mean open public land.

We went to Sand Hollow last year and it was unbelievable. Way better and more technical than Moab. If you see a line you wanna try or take hit it. I would love to go back sometime soon. It isn't as scenic as Moab but still beautiful.

They have had ALOT of rain in the last year that definitely washed out and beat up the trails.

[ole heep]

Nobody that I know of. It is all BLM land. I think he was referring to them closing Tellico and it being public land

BLM is discussing closing around 1000 acres out there.

Having never been there, I'm not sure if that includes where the good wheeling is or not though.

Seems like the BLM should Manage the land with access for all types of enthusiasts in mind as opposed to closing things off.

Located near St. George, Utah among the red rocks and red sand, Sand Mountain, by Sand Hollow State Park hosts year round recreational opportunities for people around the world. Bureau of Land Management is considering a land swap. However, if this land exchange doesn't carefully consider all the relevant concerns, it could devastate events, local businesses, countless traditions and future memories. The exchange would involve swapping 1050 acres of the Western Edge of Sand Mountain near Warner Valley with 89 acres of private land in Washington near Green Springs in an area managed as a desert tortoise preserve. Washington County is designated as the Facilitator of the Exchange. The City of Washington plans to to annex much of the acquired area into their City, which will likely be a significant influence in the exchange.

This exchange involves parcels that could affect access to the West Rim Trail, Ridgeline Trail, dispersed camping, staging areas and more. The recreation community needs to rally together, because land exchanges such as this tend to result in permanent changes. Utah Public Lands Alliance, Desert Roads and Trails Society, Mayor Nanette Billings (Hurricane), BlueRibbon Coalition, and Tri State ATV have been meeting with BLM, Water Conservancy, and the City of Washington to learn more about the project. Now we need you to become part of the process. Send a comment to the BLM before April 19 to ensure our concerns are documented and included in the proposal. You can learn more by reading the full briefing below and reviewing the maps at the bottom of this page.
