Manti-La Sal National Forest, Utah

This spectacular setting is the destination recreation playground for the Wasatch Front. With its sensitive resources, there was a need to manage the heavy camp, vehicle, and OHV use. Dick was brought over in 2001 to develop a conceptual OHV management plan that would link the campgrounds with the lakes and provide a place for people to ride their OHVs. Realizing that this was only Phase I of a much bigger system, Dick laid out a 12-mile trail system that met the issues and concerns. After the environmental review was completed, Dick was asked to return in 2004 to do the final trail location, develop a sign plan, and oversee the construction.

In July, the wildflowers were in their prime. View Larger	One of the three reservoirs in the area. View Larger	Mini excavator. View Larger	Sweco dozer bridging gas pipeline. View Larger	Turnpike installation. View Larger
