While I understand a certain level of management of public lands is necessary to ensure it remains undestroyed and available for the enjoyment of the public for perpetuity, but...

To close off entire areas of PUBLICLY owned nation forests for use and enjoyment (particularly hiking & camping) seems like a giant over reach of "authority" by the .gov. This is public recreation land, how the hell can they lawfully prohibit THE PEOPLE from enjoying it? Is it not OURS?
