Much of the 41 miles of the byway are located on the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Logan Ranger District. Throughout the canyon are more than 30 established rock climbing sites, with the most popular sites located in the lower half of the canyon. Many of these climbing routes have existed since the 1970s, with climbing activity increasing as climbing hardware and techniques have evolved. Utah State University is located in close proximity to the mouth of Logan Canyon and the university’s growing number of students and outdoor programs has increased climbing in the canyon. Community groups, such as church and scout groups, also frequent climbing areas in the lower half of the canyon, as many sites are easily accessed from the highway by a short walk. Because estimates suggest that the population of the Cache Valley area will double by the year 2040, Forest Service management is concerned about impacts from increased recreational use of Logan Canyon (Cache County, 2009). In addition, Logan Canyon is a relatively short drive from Salt Lake City, attracting additional climbers from the metropolitan area. Most climbing routes in the canyon were bolted spontaneously and without the Logan Ranger District’s knowledge by rock climbing enthusiasts in the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s. Today these same routes are maintained by local individuals and groups, including the community organization Northern Utah Climbing Coalition. Two publications were produced in the 1990s documenting the location of climbing routes in the canyon as well as their difficulty ratings and suggested gear, but there are no official catalogs of the climbing areas (Monsell, unknown dates). In summary, the Logan Ranger District has not directly managed rock climbing in Logan Canyon until 2017. This management plan reviews visitor use patterns, resource impacts and management directives for Logan Canyon and recommends strategies to improve Logan Ranger District’s rock climbing management. Goals and Objectives The Logan Canyon CMP strives to conserve recreation and natural resources through the following comprehensive goals and objectives: • Establish a boundary for rock climbing areas of interest in Logan Canyon. • Catalog current climbing sites in the Logan Canyon corridor. • Determine climbing areas for management action for various resources. • Determine thresholds for change in certain resources at climbing areas near endemic species populations. • Propose Forest Service management actions to improve resource conditions. • Establish guidelines and reiterate existing regulations for rock climbers to protect natural resources, including endemic plant species, nesting birds and watershed quality. • Provide a resource for permitted outfitter and guide services to follow to reduce impacts on natural, cultural and recreation resources. 3 • Establish a method to track the development of new rock climbing routes in Logan Canyon and the Logan Ranger District. • Identify collaborative projects for the Logan Ranger District and partner organizations to monitor climbing impacts and improve resource conditions. Boundaries, Planning & Scoping The Logan Ranger District has the authority to manage climbing activity in the canyon on lands administered by the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The Logan Ranger District has the authority to enact closures of climbing areas when impacts to natural resources exceed the thresholds defined in this plan. Although U.S. Highway 89 is the major route through the canyon, the Department of Transportation possesses only an easement through the National Forest. The Logan Canyon Climbing Management Plan encompasses all climbing activity and areas within 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers) of the road corridor of U.S. Highway 89, between the National Forest boundaries at the western mouth of the canyon and the eastern canyon summit, as well as climbing activity within 0.5 miles of the Forest Road 081 (Right Hand Fork), Forest Road 245 (Left Hand Fork) and Forest Road 014 (Swan Flat Road) (Figure 1). These boundaries were selected based on the concentration of climbing routes published and advertised in guidebooks or on climbing websites. Climbing areas within the boundaries were visited and cataloged in the summer of 2017. Initial planning for the Logan Canyon CMP followed the Visitor Use Management Framework developed by the Interagency Visitor Use Management Council (IVUMC, 2016). This framework is used by agencies including the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service. The framework builds foundational knowledge of visitor use in a particular area and defines management direction for the area. The framework elements as represented in the Logan Canyon CMP include: • Build the foundation: A purpose and need for a climbing management plan exists in Logan Canyon due to the presence of sensitive plant species whose populations may be impacted by rock climbing. While an acceptable recreation use, climbing activity may adversely impact other natural and cultural resources. Reviews of climbing guidebooks and websites determined that the majority of climbing areas exist within four road corridors. Site visits confirmed 25 climbing areas within 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometers) of these roads (Table 1), with the Logan Ranger District often receiving requests to develop new climbing areas and routes. • Define visitor use management direction: Desired conditions for climbing areas include no removal of cliffside vegetation on climbing routes, limited number of access trails all of which meet Forest Service standards for trail conditions, no climbing occurring during raptor species nesting season in areas with active nests, no climbing occurring on or near cultural resources, and conditions that meet the Roaded Natural category of the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (U.S. Forest Service, 2003). Past validation of endemic species at climbing areas, conducted 2006-2015, will act as indicators for areas that require 4 management attention. Thresholds for acceptable change within these areas will be based upon total percent loss of individuals from these areas. • Identify management strategies: Areas where management action is needed, and for what resource benefit, will be identified. Timelines for these actions will be made. Areas with potential cultural resources will be surveyed by Forest Service archaeologists. Climbing area development will be tracked and monitored. Climber education resources will be created by the Logan Ranger District and the Northern Utah Climbing Coalition. • Implement, evaluate, monitor and adjust: Management actions, such as the construction of access trails, will be implemented after discussion with partner organizations. In areas where resources are directly threatened, a decision will be made whether to close the area. Ongoing monitoring of threatened species and other endemic species will continue with the assistance of partner organizations. Figure 1.

Beautifully nestled among the steep slopes of the Bear River and Wellsville mountain ranges, the valley averages 4500 feet in elevation and is four to twelve miles in width. The surrounding high mountains, clear streams and productive soil all combine to make it a valley rich in the blessings of nature. Cache Valley was the scene of many events important in the settling of the American West. It was here that mountain Indian tribes found ample hunting ground for game, that rugged mountain men splashed through streams in search of beaver, and where Mormon pioneers built new homes in the wilderness of the American frontier. For centuries before the mountain men and the Mormons came to Cache Valley, Native Americans hunted, fished and gathered seeds from the grass that was plentiful upon the valley floor. These Native Americans, the Northwestern Shoshone, named the valley Seuhubeogoi, “Willow River,” and established both winter and summer camps along the major rivers. As nomadic hunters and gatherers they followed centuries-old migratory patterns in search of food. Famous Northwestern Shoshone leaders were Sagwitch, Bear Hunter, Pocatello, Pahvants, and Sanpitch. Mountain men in search of beaver were the first white visitors to Cache Valley.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR MISCELLANEOUS FIELD STUDIES UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAP MF-1566-A PAMPHLET MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF MOUNT NAOMI ROADLESS AREA, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH, AND FRANKLIN COUNTY, IDAHO By James H. Dover, U.S. Geological Survey and Philip R. Bigsby, U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts, 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 presently 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 Mount Naomi Roadless Area (04758), Wasatch and Caribou National Forests, Cache County, Utah, and Franklin County, Idaho. Mount Naomi Roadless Area was classified as a further planning area during the Second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE n)i by the U.S. Forest Service, January 1979. MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL SUMMARY STATEMENT Geological, geophysical, and geochemical investigations have been conducted to assess the mineral resource potential of the Mount Naomi Roadless Area (hereafter referred to as "study area"), northeastern Utah and southeastern Idaho.
