(Listed Below). You Need to Identify the Statement(S) and What Page It Was on in Your Letter Please choose at least one statement to elaborate on (listed below). You need to identify the statement(s) and what page it was on in your letter. So for instance, your letter may look like one of these: Dear Forest Service, Thank you for the opportunity to let me comment on the preliminary environmental assessment for travel management on the Questa Ranger District. Below you will find my comments/concerns: EA, page 135: The economy of the study area, Taos County, New Mexico, is driven by the larger population center. Questa, Red River, and Taos Ski Valley are important economic centers within the study area, but are dwarfed by the population and economic power of the Taos area. As a business owner in Red River it is of no significance to me that you may consider Red River’s economy smaller than that of Taos. The community of Red River is MY community and the economy here is MY economy. If your decision affects my local economy negatively it doesn’t make a difference what impact it has on the region as a whole. It will devastate the economy that affects my business the most; that of Red River. Sincerely, Joe Q. Business Owner Phone Address Dear Forest Service, Thank you for the opportunity to let me comment on the preliminary environmental assessment for travel management on the Questa Ranger District. Below you will find my comments/concerns: EA, page 124 –Recreation is an important part of the Town of Red River’s tourism industry and economy. The Town and its businesses sponsor motor vehicle related activities to draw visitors from local areas and outside of New Mexico. Visitors come from mainly Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to escape from the summer heat. A large percentage of Red River tourists come to enjoy the national forest. Red River visitors and residents tend to use mechanized/motorized forms of recreation, such as jeep driving, ATV driving, mountain biking, and to access fishing and hiking areas. Most of the district’s transportation system (roads and trails) surrounding the Town of Red River is used by recreationists driving jeeps and ATVs. My family and I have been coming up to Red River to use the trails for over twenty years. We drive seven hours to get there, rent three homes while we’re there, and spend on average $1,500 a day during our trip on meals, activities, lodging, etc. We were devastated when you closed Middlefork Lake Trail to motorized traffic and now understand there’s a possibility of closing more trails in the surrounding area. As OHV enthusiasts we beg you to reconsider. We know dozens of families like ours that love coming to Red River to enjoy the forest but will be forced to vacation elsewhere if you limit the trails in the Questa Ranger District. Sincerely, Joe Q. Vacationer Phone Address You can include specific financial figures to your business or how much your travel party spends while vacationing in Red River; you can include specific trails that are your favorites or that you’d like to see kept open; you can include any additional that pertains to the social and economic impact of OHV users in Red River. Statements that should be addressed: EA, page 124 – Recreation is an important part of the Town of Red River’s tourism industry and economy. The Town and its businesses sponsor motor vehicle related activities to draw visitors from local areas and outside of New Mexico. Visitors come from mainly Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to escape from the summer heat. A large percentage of Red River tourists come to enjoy the national forest. Red River visitors and residents tend to use mechanized/motorized forms of recreation, such as jeep driving, ATV driving, mountain biking, and to access fishing and hiking areas. Most of the district’s transportation system (roads and trails) surrounding the Town of Red River is used by recreationists driving jeeps and ATVs. EA, page 138 – The economy of surrounding communities, based on data obtained, do not depend solely on the lands within the Carson National Forest. While the Red River community might be expected to depend on NFS lands, the data indicate tourism is a large percentage of the economy. The setting of the community, surrounded by the national forest draws many tourists. In addition, Red River has many activities designed to draw people to the community without actual interaction with NFS lands. Tourism based economies are subject to many factors outside the immediate community, such as fuel prices, changes in the larger economy, weather both in the immediate community and the larger regional area, and a change in the type of individuals and families visiting the area (motorized enthusiasts to hikers, for example). The proposals for travel management on the Questa Ranger District have no discernable indirect effects on economies of the local communities. EA, page 136 – The Red River economy is driven by the retail trade, accommodation and food service, and the construction sectors. The retail trade and accommodation and food service sector depend on incoming monies from outside the local area. Taos and Questa benefit from Red River activities, since many visitors access the Red River area from the south and the west. EA, page 135 - The economy of the study area, Taos County, New Mexico, is driven by the larger population center. Questa, Red River, and Taos Ski Valley are important economic centers within the study area, but are dwarfed by the population and economic power of the Taos area. EA, page 135 – Since Red River is surrounded by the Carson National Forest, many of the visitors who come during the summer recreate on the national forest. Visitors, as well as, local residents, drive their motor vehicles along NFS roads and trails to sightsee, camp, access fishing areas and wilderness trailheads, or just to be outdoors. EA, page 136 – The Town is concerned the changes to the Questa RD’s transportation system may limit or negatively impact local businesses or its visitors who are attracted to Red River because of its easy access to the national forest. How to Comment: Email to: [email protected] Please include your name and address The letter MUST BE AN ATTACHMENT in .doc, .docx, .rtf, .txt, or .pdf (it can’t be in the body of the email) Subject line: Travel Management – Questa RD Fax to: Carson Forest Supervisor Attn: Travel Management Questa Ranger District Subject line: Travel Management – Questa RD (575) 586-2010 AND (575) 758-6213 Drop your letter off at Red River Town Hall (100 E.

  • Red, Gold, Wild and Wheeler Backpacking in Northern New Mexico Friday, September 4 – Tuesday, September 8, 2015
    The Dallas Sierra Club invites you to Red, Gold, Wild and Wheeler Backpacking in Northern New Mexico Friday, September 4 – Tuesday, September 8, 2015 Trip Coordinator: Stephen Fleischman [email protected], 972 689-7317 Where: Backpack in the Questa Ranger District, Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Northern New Mexico, near the Taos Ski Valley and the town of Red River, weaving in and out of the 19,661 acre Wheeler Peak Wilderness. One trip option is in the beautiful Rio Grande del Norte National Monument and the Rio Grande Gorge. This is, in part, a service trip and the activities involved will be interesting and fun as well as helpful. To the extent feasible, each trip will do one or more of the following: Record GPS tracks of the trails. The trails as shown on existing maps are very inaccurate, so the collected data will be used to update maps. Don’t worry -- the trip leaders will have accurate maps. Photograph and record locations of existing trail signs and record coordinates for recommended additional signs. Record campsites, noting condition, availability of water, existence and number of fire rings, etc. Tally visitors encountered on the trail. Identify and record the locations of noxious weeds. Departure: The bus will depart the Walmart parking lot (northwest quadrant of I-635 and Midway Road) at 7:30 PM on Friday, September 4. Arrive by 7:00 PM to load your gear. We’ve chartered a sleeper bus that converts from aircraft seating to bunks. Leave a car at Walmart if you wish. Neither the Sierra Club nor Wal-Mart assumes responsibility for your car or its contents, but Walmart is open 24 hours, the lot is lighted nor have we experienced a problem with parked vehicles.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR MISCELLANEOUS FIELD STUDIES UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAP MF-1570-A PAMPHLET MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF THE COLUMBINE-HONDO WILDERNESS STUDY AREA, TAGS COUNTY, NEW MEXICO By Steve Ludington, U. S. Geological Survey, John P. Briggs, U. S. Bureau of Mines, and James M. Robertson, New Mexico Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and the Joint Conference Report on Senate Bill 4, 88th Congress, the U. S. Geological Survey and the U. S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are currently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Columbine-Hondo Wilderness Study Area in the Carson National Forest, Taos County, N. Mex. The Columbine-Hondo Wilderness Study Area was established by Public Law 96-550, December 19, 1980; it was earlier classified as a further planning area (B3032) during the Second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE n), by the U. S. Forest Service, January 1979.

  • Red River, New Mexico: a Place for Family Fun in the Southern Rockies
    Red River, New Mexico: A Place for Family Fun in the Southern Rockies By Jim Fagan y wife and I have been to Red River Mseveral times for both summer and winter vacations. It has long been a favorite spot for Texans to escape the dreadful summer heat that is inevitable. Affordability and close proximity have always been major draws-not just to Texans. From our home in Denton (40 miles north of Dallas) we can be in Red River in less than twelve hours. Due to its small size and location slightly off the beaten path, Red River is sometimes overlooked by Texans looking for a mountain getaway. Since discovering snowshoeing in 2003, we made several brief trips to Red River to enjoy the superb powder in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Typically, we leave Denton and drive to Clayton, N.M. to spend the night. At an elevation of a little over 5,000 feet, it gives us a chance to relax and begin acclimating to the even thinner air in Red River. In the morning, we dress in snowshoeing togs to make the easy three-hour drive to Red River. On the way, we usually spot antelope on the peaceful drive toward beautiful Cimarron Canyon. Once out of the canyon, you enter the quaint little town of Eagle Nest. Take a right on Highway 38 and you are only eighteen miles from Red River. 1 INTRODUCING Atlas10 Series & Elektra 10 Series SNOWSHOES • Wrapp™ Comfort Bindings are ergonomically engineered for Trail Walking fit and support. • Spring-Loaded Suspension™ allows natural foot articulation and enhanced traction control on uneven terrain.
