Trail Canyon TMP (Kanab) – Comments opened June 22 and are open till July 22, 2026. The Trail Canyon Travel Management Area (TMA) is located in Kane County, Utah. It is bounded by the Dixie National Forest on the north, U.S. Hwy 89 on the east, the Utah-Arizona border on the south, and Zion National Park on the west. There are 129 miles of routes proposed for new closures in Alternative B out of 450 miles of routes currently open, that’s 29% unless we take action. BLM is having trouble with their Interactive Map, and I want to start examining the trails in detail, so I created GPX files you can upload into OnX or Gaia you can get at the link below.
UPLA created an analysis tool to give a high level overview of the various travel management plan alternatives. In the analysis, you’ll find a complete list of all the routes sorted by Route number (with common names where we have them), another tab shows the Alternative B closures, and then a Top Priority page that shows the largest impacts based on mileage. It should be noted that there are many other factors that may be more important such as connectivity to other routes and other important features on the route.
