TM-1. Designate, implement, and monitor a comprehensive travel management network affording a range of high-quality and diverse motorized and non-motorized recreation opportunities. The network consists of a system of roads, primitive roads, and trails. The travel management network and associated recreation opportunities are consistent with other resource management objectives and recreation settings within the Bradshaw-Harquahala area.
TM-2. Motorized routes connect neighboring communities, local jurisdictions, and lands administered by county, State, and Federal agencies to allow for multiple-day OHV experiences.
TM-3. A regional network of motorized routes exists for long-distance OHV back country touring. Looping, regional routes connect the Black Canyon, Bradshaw Foothills, Wickenburg/Vulture, and Harquahala-Big Horn areas, and continue north to the Wagoner and Skull Valley areas to connect to Prescott National Forest and the Great Western Trail. Economic development of local communities is synergistic with providing outstanding opportunities for motorized recreation.
TM-4. Designated, managed sites exist for specialized vehicle use, considering the unique natural terrain required for such activities. Certain types of motorized activities, such as rock crawling and motorcycle observed trails, require extreme terrain features and are not conducive to general use by traditional stock 4-WD vehicles. These sites will not be evaluated and established as designated motorized routes. However, access to these sites will be evaluated during the process of route designation.
TM-5. Local and regional networks of designated non-motorized trails exist for short and long-distance travel by foot, horseback, and human-powered conveyances (e.g. mountain bikes). These trails connect communities and Sonoran Desert landscapes and are consistent with the State of Arizona trails plan. Networks of non-motorized trails provide recreation opportunities that support tourism and economic development of communities.
