They need something like this in Idaho also. There is little enforcement of riding on closed trails or making your own new trails and as a result there is little respect for the off road rules.

It is a problem in Montana and an EPIDEMIC in Idaho. Elkchaser if you are in SE Idaho we need to get you plugged into our grassroots effort. Just yesterday I watched a group come down off of Chinamen’s peak in a ORV,ATV, or whatever the heck you want to call it, we might need a new acronym for this “4-wheeler” with cat tracks. they obviously had a key to the gate which they opened (it isn’t supposed to be open until april 15th). Another guy saw this, went home, got his bike. parked and made a loop around buckskin with his motorbike as we were pushing my boy up the road in his stroller.
My favorite is waking up at 430 am, getting to my spot a mile off a road and having someone drive down the ridge I am set up on a half hour after daylight (no road). Planning to shoot an animal from their vehicle WITH A BOW!!!!
I realize there needs to be opportunities for those that can’t hike anymore but I have at least one bad experience every year and it has never been someone that isn’t capable of gettting their lazy butt off their vehicle and hiking.

What a great thing this would be for Idaho and Island Park! Hope Montana succeeds.
