Already, the plan to ban cross-country driving by off-roaders and close 280 miles of existing roads, while opening nearly 800 miles of currently closed roads and designate 2,600 acres for continued cross-country travel has spurred controversy.

The confessions of an off-road-vehicle outlaw....By God, it was my right. No one could tell me I couldn't chop new roads through national forest land with my off-road vehicle and my chainsaw.
I paid my taxes. This land belonged to me. If a few trees had to be cut and some makeshift roads had to be opened, well, too bad.... It was worth it if I got to have a little more fun. My buddies in New Mexico and millions more around the country probably felt the same way.
Then I began to notice something about the Carson National Forest near Taos, N.M. The elk were leaving, migrating somewhere else, and the quality of the hunts I'd enjoyed began to decline. And I noticed something else: The elk were moving to areas where they didn't have to face harassment from rogue off-road-vehicle users like me.
