Butcher Jones, the rolls closure's

Anybody been out to the rolls lately. I was out there last night and they have put closed area signs at the base of every hill, pretty much the entire playground is closed off, and all the hills at the first couple coves are closed. The only challenging spot I could find that was still open is the crack. This sucks, it was one of my favorite places to offroad really close to the valley.

 

Wait what? They closed it off? Even after they just did a clean up out there???

 

I don't see anything on tonto's site about it...

 

When I was working with the rangers out at Bartlett/7 Springs, they said the whole department was pushing hard to restrict some of the damaging off-roading sites around the state. This could be part of that just now kicking in out there. Bummer.

 

i know the first hill by the hwy is closed..

but im pretty dam sure the rest arent!!

ill be going out there to check this weekend hopefully

 

It's not completely closed all the official trails are still open, and there are all really well marked now with trail signs everywere. They have put closed area signs on all the hills that aren't an official trail. For example if you come in from butcher jones the playground area were you cut across to cove 1 from butcher jones is closed off , and both of the steep hills on both sides of cove 1 are closed off. You can still go out there and have some fun but there's no longer any place a Prerunner can't go.

 

So it made the area pretty much useless haha... well Box Canyon it is!
