red mountain trails

[E YOTA]

its gettin hot when are the trails gonna open this year???

[85-4roller]

When the government opens the gate, which seems to be later & later every year, biased on my 45+ years of red / coyote trail use. Snow used to close the trails, now it is government gates.
Did you know that that trail used to loop through coyote, beryl & out to brewer lake, before the enviros infiltrated the forest service.

I call & write the forest service every year to ask them to at least open the gate at 168 before june 1st.
A few years ago one forest service employee told me he would not open the gate on "HIS" trail until there was no moisture ( not snow) on the trail. 

Good Luck & Happy Wheelin on whats left & open.

I called the prather forest service office and got ahold of the ohv manager, Said that sandy flats will not be open until 6-15-12 though he did said call back about 5-22 the week before Memorial day, there may be a chance the open it early for the big weekend.

Went in today n they told me the same thing.

I talked to a forest service officer yesterday and he said he thought they might be open the first weekend in June. Fingers crossed.

The sooner the better ...next weekend would be sweet cuz i got 4 days off n the family is itching to camp.

According to the Sierra nat forest "Motor vehichle use map"...



I don't know how accurate it is or if they might open sooner based on the season??

[95toyrunner]

[TimberlineBryce]

It's the most current one but it's from 2011...

Do they need any help or more volunteers or anything??

[stihlmohawk]

X2 on helping. I cut trees for a living .... hit me up.

[monk #1164]

The forest service has to have waivers for safety reasons and you would need to be on their list, but it is appreciated. As soon as they give us the okay, the Fresno club will post it and i will post it here

[TimberlineBryce]

Ok cool keep us in the loop and let us know if we can help!

x2!  I've been hunting and camping in that area for years,  just started wheeling this last year however.  Let me know if I and my friends can help.  We have no problems getting cleared on waivers with the forest service if need be.

Here is a link to the usdept of forestry motor vehicle use maps.  I couldn't find one with the names of the lakes though, just the routes.
