Alternative O responds to feedback from diverse interest groups and is based on a series of public, collaborative meetings hosted by the Forest Service that focused on motorized recreation, wilderness, and vegetation management. This alternative reflects areas of general agreement among participants in those meetings. Alternative O emphasizes summer and winter non-motorized opportunities in a backcountry, unroaded setting and minimizes recommended wilderness. In addition, the Kettle Crest Special Interest Area is proposed to provide outstanding recreational values in a semi-primitive setting while allowing other uses. |
