22:59 Examining why it is important that States and Counties pursue these rights-of-way
Last month I had the opportunity to get out on the Grand Staircase Escalante Monument and travel 90 miles of roads to a number of points of interest. That trip wouldn’t have been possible without the use of the existing roads in the area. The routes we took were special because they are part of Kane County’s and the State of Utah’s lawsuit asserting that these roads are public rights-of-way under Revised Statute 2477 or RS2477
While some of you may be unfamiliar with the term RS2477, it is important to understand what these roads mean for access on public lands, particularly in a county like Kane which is approx. 90% federal land. These roads are the access to natural resources that are important for energy, livestock grazing, timber harvest, recreation and many other uses on the public lands.
For those of you who are familiar with this battle to preserve access you may be aware of the recent decision from the 10th Circuit Court last week
