New Sponsor Announcement

We are pleased to announce our newest sponsor/partner, The Larimer County Four Wheel Drive Club-aka The Mountaineers ! About the club: We are a family-oriented club, organized in 1965, to promote and enjoy the recreation of four-wheeling. Four wheeling involves driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle on roads and trails which are impassable to normal street vehicles. Unlike the images portrayed by mass media and environmental groups, we are concerned with conserving the natural beauty of the State of Colorado and anywhere we four-wheel. We believe strongly in the principles of Tread Lightly! We also participate in both the Adopt-a-Trail and the Adopt-A-Highway programs. We work closely with the US Forest Service in maintaining trails, many of our members participate in the Trail Host program. We assist our community, Fort Collins, Colorado, by providing transportation during severe winter weather for employees and some patients of “critical need” groups like Poudre Valley Hospital, Good Samaritan Retirement Village and Meals-On-Wheels and by assisting groups like the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army in transporting supplies and the like to and from remote areas during crises. More info is available at mountaineers4x4.org

New Sponsor Announcement


Desert Valley Overlanders is our newest sponsor/partner. They are our neighbors in the southwest and are off-road overland adventure travelers who seek adventure on backcountry trails be it on two wheels or four. Their goal is to bring like-minded explorers together to experience a life full of vehicle-based adventures and the community that comes with it. They support stewardship, land use and the #keeptrailsopen mission!

PSI Comment Period Reflection

75166921_490758891537787_3471606010769047552_n.jpg

A big THANK YOU to all our members, sponsors, partners and those who support us for submitting comments to the PSI Travel Management project. CORE has come a long way in three years. In 2016 we submitted a single comment during the scoping phase and there were no comments referencing CORE. During the DEIS comment period (ended yesterday), CORE submitted 45 unique and detailed comments and nearly 350 (over 10% of total comments received) mentioned or backed CORE's recommendations. Our comments included several route corrections as the FS maps are highly inaccurate. We were even excited to show up in the Lawsuit Plaintiffs' comments as an honorable mention (see photo). 

We had a lot of help and several CORE Members went above and beyond during this process. CORE would like to recognize members Patrick McKay, Ryan Boudreau, Luke Gilginas, Brian O'Connors, and Lisa Potter for all their work during open commenting. This is only one step in the long process to #keeptrailsopen, we have many battles in the future but if we all continue to work together, we can make a difference.

**Land Use Alert** Only a few more days to comment!

We have made it easy for you to help keep trails open! Watch the short video, put your specific info into the outline and submit a comment! Here is the outline:
