This story inaccurately describes snowmobilers as outdoor enthusiasts
promoting more "access" for themselves and their ecologically devastating
hobby. They currently have access to hundreds of miles of trail, while
hikers, skiers, backpackers, elk, moose, clean water, and threatened salmon
can hardly find a quiet place free from their invasive and exotic use of the
landscape.
The Clearwater Travel Plan Comment Period has been strangely re-opened. Rumor has it the motorized use crowd did not send in enough comments! Let's remind them that roadless areas should also be motorless!
