Off-Road Trail
Moab, Utah
Trail Information
A portion of proceeds for every badge purchased will be donated directly to the Blue Ribbon Coalition.
In the rugged, red-rock heartland of Moab, Utah, a trail known as Hey Joe Canyon stands as a testament to the natural beauty and adventure spirit that defines the area. Closed in October 2023 due to the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Labyrinth Rims Gemini Bridges Travel Management Plan, this decision has stirred a wave of concern among outdoor enthusiasts and advocates for public land access. The closure of Hey Joe Canyon not only limits recreational opportunities but also sparks a broader conversation about the rights of individuals to explore and enjoy their national landscapes.
In response to this closure, we have joined forces with the Blue Ribbon Coalition (BRC), a leading organization committed to preserving responsible recreational access to public lands and waters. The BRC is at the forefront of the battle to reopen Hey Joe Canyon, advocating for a balanced approach that ensures environmental protection while maintaining the public's right to access.
Our partnership with the BRC is built on a shared vision of free and equal use of public lands. By collaborating, we aim to amplify our voice and resources to support the cause effectively. This alliance is not just about one trail or one decision; it's about standing up for the principle that public lands should remain accessible for all to enjoy, respect, and cherish.
To support the BRC's efforts and raise awareness of the situation, we are introducing a series of badges. These badges are more than just symbols; they are a call to action. They serve as a reminder of the beauty and freedom that public lands offer and the ongoing struggle to protect these values. By purchasing a badge, you are contributing to the BRC's legal and advocacy efforts to restore access to Hey Joe Canyon and ensure that similar closures are approached with careful consideration of public input and access rights.
We're committed to navigating the challenges ahead, advocating for policies that balance conservation and recreational access, and ensuring that the wonders of places like Hey Joe Canyon remain open for all to experience. In this critical moment, your support can make a difference. Join us in this cause, and let's work together to keep America's public lands open, accessible, and enjoyed by all.
