Marking a serious escalation in tensions between the U.S. Forest Service and owners of Big Cottonwood Canyon inholdings, officials recently cut off property owners’ motorized access to private land in Cardiff Fork.
to the scenic alpine cirque at the head of the canyon, long enjoyed by backcountry skiers and hikers in the heart of Utah’s storied backcountry outside Salt Lake City., which are all historic mining claims, rendering much of Cardiff off-limits to recreation without landowner permission, according to Ben Kraja, the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest’s acting Salt Lake district ranger.
It is now essentially impossible to hike or ski through Cardiff without trespassing. So at a time when, access to public land is getting more complicated, leaving few places to enjoy the alpine scenery in Salt Lake City’s backyard. The dispute over access forced state mining officials to suspend mine reclamation activities in the Canyon earlier this month.
