BLM Proposing Rerouting Rainbow Trail Near Coledale

The Bureau of Land Management is considering a proposal to reroute a severely damaged section of the single-track, motorized use Rainbow Trail near Coaldale.  

The trail was damaged in flooding that occurred after the 2016 Hayden Pass Fire.     

The proposed changes to the Rainbow Trail would reopen one of the access points, route about 3.5 miles of the trail through BLM Land, and build a trailer-friendly turnaround with space for parking. The draft environmental assessment analyzes the effect of the proposed action on the community and well as on wildlife in the area.     

Comments on the environmental assessment can be submitted on the website go.usa.gov. Comments must be received by October 25.
