    Extractions: Protecting our national parks, forests, and waterways from damage caused by motorized recreation and unsustainable energy development. Off-Road Vehicles: Tire Tracks Across our Natural Heritage From pristine beaches and forests to ancient ruins and desert landscapes, our public lands hold some of our most untamed landmarks and important cultural artifacts. Indeed, these places embody American ideals of wildness and originality. But the wide wheels and polluting engines of off-road vehicles have already created significant, if not permanent, damage to this heritage. Off-road vehicles -such as all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and dirt bikes- are currently allowed in countless public land areas, including 59 national parks. A Bluewater Network survey revealed that of these parks, 38 have reported serious damage to their resources. All year long, off-road vehicles run haphazardly across pristine wetlands and marshes, creeks and streams, over beaches, forests, deserts and prairies. They trample and destroy sensitive vegetation thereby increasing erosion rates. Endangered species such as the desert tortoise are often crushed under the wheels of off-road vehicles. Moreover, the noise frightens wildlife and prevents them from hearing sounds important for mating, avoiding predators, and finding prey. Off-road vehicles also cause significant air pollution According to the California Air Resources Board, off-road vehicles such as ATVs can produce 118 times as many smog-forming pollutants as automobiles.

Here, you can drive your off-road vehicle along the many miles of accessible beach as you search for that perfect fishing spot, or sit around a bonfire with the backdrop of the ocean waves. All of this can be enjoyed, but there are a few regulations that must be followed. Duck - No motorized vehicles allowed on the beach. Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head Cape Hatteras National Seashore at Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge is strictly prohibited. ORV accesses to beaches are open to vehicles by designated ramps only. For current information on ORV areas, contact National Park Service Headquarters at (252) 473-2111 or visit any visitor center located throughout the park. Driving an off-road vehicle (ORV) on the beach can be fun, but where beach driving is permitted, please observe the following rules:

    Extractions: Microscopic examination of microbiotic soil crust shows that the profiles of soil with a dense cyanobacterial cover had two different layers: a surface thin layer composed of aeolian-born materials and an organic layer formed by filamentous cyanobacteria associated with sand particles. The results indicate that microbiotic cover is an important determinant of sand fixation in the Gurbantunggut Desert, northern part of Xinjiang, Northwestern China. Microscopic examination of microbiotic crusts in this study revealed an intricate network of filamentous cyanobacteria and exopolysaccharides, which binds and entraps sand grains and conglutinate fine particles with each other. Resistance to wind erosion paralleled the different disturbance levels on microbiotic soil crust. Sandy soil surface disturbances resulted in greatly decreased soil resistance to wind erosion. Maximum wind tunnel velocity in this test (25 m s

"We're not looking to exclude the (off-road) user group by any means," says Jaime Gardner of the federal Bureau of Land Management's Colorado office. "But we are going toward a management style of designated routes." The Forest Service manages 193 million acres, with 287,000 miles of roads and 32,000 miles of trails open to motor traffic. The agency calculates that off-road vehicle users make more than 12 million visits a year to the 155 national forests and 20 national grasslands. About 43 million Americans use ATVs, dirt bikes and other off-the-pavement motor vehicles for recreation, the Forest Service says.

    Extractions: The recreation area provides many opportunities for use of motorized and non-motorized vehicles in the back country. Signs are normally posted at trailheads and access points which describe whether or not particular vehicles are allowed on the trail. The Chena Hot Springs Winter Trail, which parallels Chena Hot Springs Road, and trails which access back country cabins are color-coded. Colored reflective diamond-shaped trail markers and mileposts placed along the trail guide you to your destination. The markers work the same as the mileposts on the highways: as you travel toward a cabin or the hot springs, the markers are on your right. Please familiarize yourself with these markers and which trail they represent. The Chena River State Recreation Area Management plan adopted in November of 2006 makes the Angel Creek Trail open to motorized use only in the winter from mid October through mid April. The management plan directs State Parks to reroute the Angel Creek Trail from low, wet areas near the trailhead and repair, or install hardened surfaces on the trail so that it can be opened for ORV use in the summer. When the trail is rerouted to a drier route, the realigned valley trail will be open to motorized use in the summer.

    Information on Utah vacation options that combine offroading and camping to create a unique and unforgettable experience.  
    http://www.utah.com/camping/offroad.htm
    
    Extractions: Bicycle Camping One of the discouraging factors about trying to get away from it all is that you have to carry everything. Camping with an ATV, motorcycle, or 4x4 can bring a whole new perspective to the experience. "Farther, faster" is the theme for camping with off-road vehicles. Utah has thousands of miles of state-maintained ATV trails that are world class. The Paiute ATV Trail was rated one of the best 15 trails in the country by Dirt Wheels magazine. Two-hundred-and-seventy miles long, from Fillmore and Salina at the north edge of the loop to Circleville at the south, over 800 miles of marked side trails and 1,000-plus miles of side forest roads await you. It would take at least 25 hours of nonstop riding to see just the main trail. That's why camping was created! The Uinta Basin has a new addition - the Forest Service's two new 30-mile loop trails in the Uintas. Well-marked, they can be conquered in one day or made to last by stopping to fish for hungry trout, taking a hike to a lonely peak, or stopping to admire meadows full of wildflowers. ATVs are available to rent across the state for self-guided tours or you can take an expert to show you the way. Southern Utah has become a Mecca for 4x4s as well as bikers. Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Grand Staircase and the San Rafael Swell offer challenges as easy as improved gravel roads to frame-wrenching, cage-rolling trails over rocky ledges. A most rewarding trip reaches from St. George south into Arizona to Grand Canyon National Park at Toroweap Point, where a 3,000-foot drop to the Colorado awaits you.
