Haven't seen this posted anywhere else but is a bit worrisome. A couple groups looking to shut it down.

Off-highway vehicles causing damage to Bighorn Backcountry, says wilderness group

Severe damage in the Bighorn Backcountry is a direct result of OHV use, according to a 15-year study by the Alberta Wilderness Association.

Lame.


From article what a crock!

“Off-highway vehicle use in the Bighorn Backcountry reduces water quality in the headwaters of the North Saskatchewan River, which affects human drinking water in Edmonton and farther down the river and across the Prairies.”

It was also noted that foot prints from awa folks caused massive erosion as well...

Lets turn the whole province,,, no,,, all of Canada into a park...

No humans welcome beyond this point

They need to ask ATVers one question..."if the area you use to ride in wasn't shut down would you be riding still be riding big horn?" They did the same thing at Vega many years ago. A large part got close to atvs and it created more problems.
