A bill to authorize the use of off-highway vehicles in certain areas of the Capitol Reef National Park, Utah.

YourVoice.Now SummaryEnvironmental Concerns

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

Congressional Summary

This bill makes the state law of Utah applicable to the use of motor vehicles (including off-highway vehicles) on the portions of each of Burr Trail Road, Cathedral Road, Hartnet Road, Highway 24, Notom Bullfrog Road, Polk Creek Road, Oil Well Bench Road, Baker Ranch Road, South Desert Overlook Road, Temple of the Sun and Moon Road, Gypsum Sinkhole Road, and Sulphur Creek Road that are located within the boundaries of the Capitol Reef National Park in Utah.
