Project Description

Moab Office of Tourism has filed an application with the Bureau of Land Management Moab Field Office to install lights and a solar powered battery setup on a pinyon tree located adjacent to the Slickrock National Recreation Trail in the Sand Flats Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA) in Grand County, Utah. The installation would be in place from November 30, 2025 to January 4th, 2026. The tree would be lit from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM each evening. Moab Office of Tourism would place temporary signage at the cattle guard and the tree instructing visitors to the admire tree from a distance and avoid stepping off trail or approaching the tree. The sign would clearly state that no ornaments or decoration may be added to the tree. A monitor would inspect the tree daily throughout the duration of the project to ensure that no items have been left behind. Moab Office of Tourism anticipates 6-8 visitors per night.
