Determing trail jurisdiction and status

Guest · 2012-03-15T20:21:41-07:00

Been reading various media about this but still a little fuzzy on something. By today's technology and communication methods (e.g., internet, phone, ham, etc.) How does one find a trail's responsible jurisdiction and therefore status? Status in this case meaning access in terms of open/closed, seasonal, vehicle type, and related. Is there a one stop shop such as National forest service? Other entities like county? This is new to me, hence the questions. Thanks

I was unable to locate a single "catch all" trail status source. I have found that each forest has their own informatuon typicall.

Let's see what I could find.

General information: http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/eldorado/

Forest-wide information (supports multiple areas and multiple issues): http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/eldorado/docume ... create.htm

Check towards the bottom for many trails and campgrounds.

Hope this helps!
