Driving on Forest Service Roads Banned in Clear Creek County?
This is a new one...
As confirmed by a call to the Sheriff's Dept, driving on established and numbered forest service roads in Clear Creek County is banned due to fire restrictions.

Click on the "read on" for the PDF and info on "off road" travel.
Is this too much? Your thoughts?
So off roading is banned now?

You are never allowed allowed to drive "off-road" driving on designated trails is still legally driving on road. If the forest is closed to motorized vehicles, the forest service places baracades.
Nothing in the notice linked says you cant drive on dirt road within the county. It says you cant traverse cross county "off-road". In this case it means in a field, forrest, ect, that is not a road.
Whomever you talked to needs to re-read the notice, or you asked the wrong question. Forrest service roads are not closed per this notice.

I'm referring to "off-roading" on marked trails.
"There are no finger prints under water."
According to the sheriff's department on the phone about 45 minutes ago, driving on estsblished forest service roads, like Jones Pass, is banned.

Jones Pass is open, just came down from there. Zero postings on road closure. Just open fire, shooting bans. The camp grounds are still open.
Whomever you talked to in the sheriffs office lied.

Your virtue signaling is interfering with the conversation. If I drive up Spring Creek, is that going off trail illegally?
"There are no finger prints under water."
No. I am an avid "off-roader" not virtue signaling, whatever the fvck that means.
Blazing your own trail is off-roading, staying on designated "off-road" trails is on-road driving.
Driving off the road (designated trail) to avoid/bypass an obstacle is what is banned. Parking off the trail is banned.
Irving never said anything about straying off of designated trails, the term "off-roading", which is what Irving said, is a commonly used term within the "off-road" community, to identify driving on trails, off of commonly used pavement roads.
