Depicts the spatial location of areas showing the type of Recreation Opportunity Settings allocated in the Land and Resource Management Plan (LMP) Decision or other NEPA decision. This feature class is clipped to BENM. Desired ROS settings either without over-snow travel or uses (summer season) or year-round when no seasonal variation exists.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Desired Recreation Opportunity Spectrum RecOpportSpectrumDraft depicts polygons representing desired recreational opportunity spectrum classes created for plan revision under the 2012 planning rule. It is a refinement of the the existing ROS inventory created for plan revision under the 2005 planning rule (referred to here as the 2006 inventory). <\/SPAN><\/P>

Recreation opportunity spectrum (ROS) is a continuum of recreation opportunity settings. A recreation opportunity setting is defined as the combination of physical, biological, social, and managerial conditions that give value to a place. Thus, an opportunity includes qualities provided by-nature (vegetation; landscape, topography, scenery), qualities associated with recreational use (levels and types of use), and conditions provided by management (developments, roads, regulations). By combining variations of these qualities and conditions, management can provide a variety of opportunities for recreationists.<\/SPAN><\/P>

There are six distinct settings on an ROS map: Urban (U), Rural (R), Roaded Natural (RN), Semi-primitive Motorized (SPM, Semi-primitive Non-motorized (SPNM, and Primitive (P). Urban describes the most developed recreation areas, and Primitive the least developed (e.g. wilderness). <\/SPAN><\/P>

Development of this layer is described under linneage, process steps. For Desired ROS on the Manti-La Sal, SPNM areas are greater than 1000 acres, most considerably greater and do not have motorized routes within. Width of RN areas ranges from 1/4 mile on either side of road to as narrow as 150 feet on either side when bound by steep slopes and adjacent SPNM units such as in a canyon. Small SPM polygons were merged into one another or into RN. In such cases RN width often exceeds 1/4 on either side of the main road. Many SPM areas are relatively large where there are networks of motorized areas. <\/SPAN><\/P>

In general spatial coincidence with Forest Administrative boundary and basic ownership is within 10 meters, mostly better or fully coincident. Additional cleanup in this regard may be useful to avoid tiny slivers during analyses.<\/SPAN><\/P>
