The intent of this project is to selectively remove conifer trees from 43 acres of crucial habitats used by the imperiled Whiskey Mountain bighorn sheep herd located in the northeast portion of the Wind River Mountain range.
The Shoshone National Forest is considering a minimum road system and a designated system of roads and trails for wheeled vehicle (motorized) use and trails and areas for over-snow vehicle use across the Forest.
The intent of this project is to construct a new trail. The trail will be a continuation of an already constructed trail on the immediately adjacent state park. User created trails in the area will either be decommissioned or adopted as system trails
The Lander Cycling Club has proposed over-snow grooming of the 5.5 mile long Upper Brewers Trail and a 1-mile portion of Forest Road 302.1E on the Washakie District for non-motorize over-snow use limited to skis, fat tire bikes and snowshoe travel.
