Loop Recreation Area iii Intermountain Region INTERPRETIVE PLAN ExECUTIvE SUmmARy In 2009, the Pleasant Grove Ranger District determined the need to develop an Interpretive Plan for the American Fork Canyon – Alpine Loop Recreation Area. The canyon has been used historically for its resources; providing the raw materials of timber, minerals, forage, and water, for export and for growing communities in the valley below. The canyon has served as the “backyard” for many, as well as a place to seek refuge from daily demands of life and the summer heat. The canyon has provided the backdrop for not only making a living, but as a place where family traditions have developed and continue today. Upon evaluation of the corridor, access to more information and consistency of information was identified as essential. Meeting the basic needs of the visitor by answering questions of: Where am I? What can I be doing here? What do I need to do to

  • Uinta‐Wasatch‐Cache National Forest Change in Recreation Fee Structure at American Fork Canyon‐Alpine Loop Recreation Fee Area
    Uinta‐Wasatch‐Cache National Forest Change in Recreation Fee Structure at American Fork Canyon‐Alpine Loop Recreation Fee Area Background In June 2011, the Forest Service conducted a national review of the 97 standard amenity recreation fee (SAF) areas on National Forest System lands. As a result of the review, the Forest Service plans to remove the fee area designation for 73 of these SAF areas and reduce the size for the remaining 24 areas. In response to this review and public comment the Uinta‐Wasatch‐Cache National Forest is proposing changes to the American Fork Canyon‐Alpine Loop standard amenity recreation fee area (American Fork Canyon Recreation Area). The American Fork Canyon Recreation Area is on the Pleasant Grove Ranger District of the Uinta‐ Wasatch‐Cache National Forest. Fee collection at American Fork was first tested in 1997 under the Recreational Fee Demonstration authority and continued under the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (REA). Description of the Recreation Area The American Fork Canyon Recreation Area includes narrow‐walled scenic canyons that open up onto mountainous terrain, offering a wide variety, and concentration of recreational activities. Main transportation arteries in the area include the Alpine Loop Scenic Backway (State Route 92), State Route 144 Cascade Springs Scenic Byway, and National Forest System Route 010 in Utah County, Utah. The recreation area provides year‐round recreational opportunities to the Wasatch Front with a population base of two million people. Over one million visitors and 400,000 vehicles accessed the fee area in 2012. American Fork Canyon/Alpine Loop Recreation Fee Proposal The Uinta‐Wasatch‐Cache National Forest proposes to: Eliminate the American Fork Canyon/Alpine Loop Recreation Fee Area (see map in Appendix A).
