we all remember the mineral basin/snowbird thing..........right.
give it time. I am sure they had to get some sort of approval to do this. more then likely with a condition that they return the trail to what it was before said work started.
I don't see this as a attack on us to close a trail, merely a temp thing so that the workers can access the area to do thier job. It isn't likely the construction company has a fleet of rock crawlers to access to area

I cant belive it. I sure hope you called it Herzog. It all looks like dirt work that will wash away?

This was addressed in the last RR4W newsletter...
"there will be repairs or bypasses made on the cliffhanger trail by the
utility company to work on the gas line, The traiol was originally created
for that work, and new upgrades are all permitted and approved.... they
are willing to help 'put back' any challenges on the route once their work
is finished, so please don't be alarmed."

As a member of the RR4Ws, these plans were brought up to us at our last meeting (Oct).
Many of the members volunteered to shuttle workers to the site, unforunatly this wasn't helpful since Moab Salt had to get a truck and trailer up the trail. The company is going to build a trench out of 4"x4" boards for the pipeline to sit in to prevent damage. So they needed a trailer pulled in to bring in the 800+ 30' boards.
One of the Moab Salt employees is a RR4W member, so they are sensitive to our desires to preserve the trail. That is why they tried to use dirt rather than bulldoze the rock obstacles.
My wife and I are going to check out the trail tomorrow, we'll let you know how it looks.
At least they did it now so winter snow and spring rain/snow melt can begin to move some of the dirt before Safari in March.

How do you figure?
Were you up there for any of the "restoration" process?
Snowbird gave alot of effort to bring it back and IMHO it is just as hard now as it was then...
