Gunnison County, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) have temporarily closed several roads to all motor vehicles to protect Gunnison Sage-Grouse during their mating season and to prevent road damage during wet spring conditions.

These roads are closed by March 15 and will reopen on May 15, 2024. Roads may be closed earlier than March 15 if they are excessively muddy. The cooperation of the public is required to successfully implement these road closures, which help support conservation efforts for Gunnison Sage-Grouse.

The U.S. Forest Service closures in the Flat Top Mountain area north of Gunnison extends through June 15 to protect nesting Gunnison Sage-Grouse. These include Henkel Road and Smokey Bear access roads. BLM roads across the basin are subject to the motorized closures except for Hartman Rocks north of the Powerline Road. Roads and trails in the north end of Hartman Rocks are subject to closure based on winter

and mud conditions but those will open when roads and trails dry out. Signal Peak roads and trails on BLM lands remain closed to motorized use from January 1 to May 15 to protect wintering wildlife. Mechanized use on Signal Peak is allowed east of the Signal Peak Road beginning May 1 after 10 am. There is a human use closure on Signal Peak from March 15 to May 15; affected trails include The Ridge, Rasta Gulch, and Chicken Wing.

Copies of the closure list and maps are available at Gunnison County Public Works, 195 Basin Park Drive; Gunnison County Administration Office, 200 E. Virginia Ave; Colorado Parks and Wildlife Office, 300 W. New York; the BLM office at 2500 E. New York Ave; and the USFS Office, 216 N. Colorado Street; Gunnison, Colorado.

These closures apply to all motorized vehicles. Do not park at the closures in a manner that blocks access through the closure gates. All non-motorized trail users are also requested to use Gunnison Basin roads/trails only after 9 a.m. during this period to help reduce disturbance to sage-grouse.

For additional information call Gunnison County Public Works at 6410044; BLM at 642-4940; or the U.S. Forest Service at 641-0471.

POLAR BEARS ARE NOT

WHITE: Their hair is colorless. The strands are thick, hollow and reflect light. This is what makes them appear white. Polar bears actually have black skin underneath that thick coat of fur, which helps them soak up the sun’s warm rays.
