Brian Head, Utah: Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew Keeps Singletrack Single

Post holes were dug to construct the fence on either side of two trail entrances where motorized users could access.
Cross bars were screwed in and the entrance to the trail is now only about two-feet wide.
The group also choked up a bridge by installing two lumber pieces. The lumber was staggered to make the bridge thinner as well as more difficult for ATVs to cross.

Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew leaders, Nat and Rachael Lopes, barely beat the winter snowfall in October at the 11,000-foot elevation of Brian Head, Utah. The aspen trees had already dropped their leaves and last minute trailwork was in order to prepare for the next year's riding season. Joined by Zach Vanderkooy, National Mountain Bike Patrol coordinator, the Crew worked with the Color Country Bicycle Club and the Forest Service to protect some valuable singletrack. Bunker Creek Trail, a local favorite, has seen some widening recently from illegal ATV usage on the trail. Signage alone had not kept motorized users off the trail, so the Forest Service worked with the Crew to choke in the trail with a fence and thin the corridor of a bridge. Volunteers contributed close to 100-hours of their time to this project and are hopeful it will keep the singletrack single.
