Short Description of Activity
Submitted comments during Scoping for the Blue Lakes Visitor Management Plan (Ouray District-GMUG Forest/USFS)
Reflection/Evaluation
The Blue Lakes region lies within the Mt Sneffels Wilderness and is an area that is being loved to death as one of the few places in the county with alpine lakes. NSJ is pleased how many members submitted comments encouraging the USFS to impose strong restrictions on recreation – day use and overnight camping as well as limitations on dogs and stock.
