Lone Butte Meadows (GPNF)
Lone Butte Meadows (GPNF)
I spotted an area I would like to explore, and there are apparently good roads through it but I am getting shut out by gates. It is Lone Butte Meadows paralleled by Forest Road 32 in Gifford Pinchot NF. Are all the roads into this area gated? Why and how long has it been this way?
Re: Lone Butte Meadows (GPNF)
I see google has a pin for Lone Butte Wildlife Area. Could that be the reason for restricted access?
Re: Lone Butte Meadows (GPNF)
Thanks, that was the key. Now that I know what to search for I find "Lone Butte Wildlife Emphasis Area" on multiple maps. I wish I had an e-bike for places like this.
Re: Lone Butte Meadows (GPNF)
This area has been on the list to check out for awhile… apparently the wildlife viewing opportunities are superb thanks to the restrictions on motorized vehicles (which would technically include an e-bike, I assume?).
If you really need an engine back there, it is open to snowmobiles in the winter.

The closest thing I have found to a list of rules is in this e-book from WTA, check out Page 21. WTA is pretty in-the-know. You could also check directly with the ranger station. https://www.wta.org/trail-news/publicat ... de2005.pdf
