Gunnison Ranger District, 216 North Colorado, Gunnison CO 81230
The U.S. Forest Service is seeking your input. The following trail project will be considered on National Forest System lands for 2008 on the Gunnison National Forest, Gunnison Ranger District.
KEBLER WAGON TRAIL PROJECT: The existing 2.6 mile segment of the Kebler Wagon Trail (NFST #606) currently provides a non-motorized travel route parallel to the existing motorized Kebler Pass Road (County Road 12), running from the area of the county gravel pit on the east and almost connecting to the Lake Irwin road on the west. The existing trail is open to all non-motorized summer trail users including mountain bikes. The proposed project consists of continuing the Kebler Wagon Trail further to the west near the Irwin Road intersection to a point close to the Gunnison Ranger District Paonia Ranger District boundary near Kebler Pass. Total project length is approximately 8,701 linear feet. New trail construction proposed is approximately 7,270 linear feet with part of the total project length following or crossing existing roads. The project, if implemented can be built progressively between road segments. The project location is T14S, R87W, Sections 10, 3. Maps of the project area are available at the Gunnison Ranger District office. The project is designed to provide a quality and safer non-motorized experience off of the very busy and popular Kebler Pass Road. The Forest Service is scoping for specific issues or concerns on the above proposed trail project. Please reply to this office in writing by February 21, 2008. Send comments to Greg Austin, Trails Manager, Gunnison Ranger District, 216 N. Colorado, Gunnison, CO. 81230 or e-mail comments to gpaustin@fs.fed.us .
