    3. What current rules/policies would you most like to see changed here and what do you propose as the best alternative?

Floored. I've explored most trails and sights within an hours drive. Gorgeous canyon for sightseeing, hiking, horseback riding. Exploring. Cool rock formations. Hardly on maps and books and road signs.
