Specific roads inside Capitol Reef National Park in Utah — including Burr Trail Road, Cathedral Road, Highway 24, and about a dozen others — would be opened to off-highway vehicles under state law rather than National Park Service rules. Utah's motor vehicle regulations, including its definition of off-highway vehicles, would govern what's allowed on these named roads within the park.
Environmental Concerns
- Off-highway-vehicle access on twelve named Capitol Reef roads — Authorized under state law
- National Park Service authority on covered roads — Replaced by Utah motor vehicle regulations
