June 5, 2011 A fishy reversal on "wild lands" policy.The Obama administration's backtracking on a policy to protect public lands smacks of pre-election-year politics. May 26, 2011 It's been a long fight, and the latest on the federal level is that the government just can't afford to do anything new, like close trails. The battle continues: |

July 12, 2008 COHVCO awarded SCORR "The OHV Club of the Year"!Here is what they had to say about YOUR club!"There are lots of OHV clubs in Colorado that have dedicated many years of efforts to enhance motorized recreation opportunities throughout Colorado and many are deserving of the recognition. However, few have done as much, in such a short amount of time as the Summit County Off Road Riders (SCORR). The club was dormant for many years [after fighting successfully for previous years to keep our trails open -Ed] until early in 2006 when an area near Breckenridge called the Golden Horseshoe began to get attention as an area in “need” of recreational management when the town of Breckenridge and Summit County jointly purchased the lands owned by B&B Mines. At that time SCORR was resurrected and has stepped up to get involved in the process of helping to “manage” it and possibly provide some motorized recreation opportunities in the area. Because of their extensive partnership with the U. S. Forest Service at the Dillon Ranger District and after much compromise, it was suggested that Tenderfoot Mountain (the only other area open to motorized use in Summit County) be designated as an off road multi-use use area and was submitted in the Travel Management Plan. Goals include a permanent trailhead with organized parking, bathrooms, information kiosks, buck-n-rail fencing around a wetland, many miles of new trails, and maintenance/reconstruction of existing trails. Currently, SCORR has applied for a grant for State Parks OHV funds to begin this process. Several SCORR members are Trail Crew Leaders thru The Friends of the Dillon Ranger District, working side by side with the “non motorized” and mountain bike community demonstrating that they can also take stewardship of public lands seriously. Last year SCORR won two awards for their efforts to preserve their trails: The Golden Pulaski form The Friends of the Dillon Ranger District and Volunteer of the year from Summit County Open Space and Trails. This year they have seven trail projects on the calendar over the course of the summer. SCORR has monthly meetings held the first Thursday of every month at the Summit County Community Center. |
