Tenmile Canyon

A portion of proceeds for every badge purchased will be donated directly to the Blue Ribbon Coalition.

Exploring Tenmile Canyon, also known as Tenmile Wash, offers a glimpse into a unique aspect of Moab's vast landscape, known for its sandy trails that snake through narrow canyons filled with water and challenging obstacles. It's a place where history whispers from ancient rock walls adorned with petroglyphs and pictographs, telling stories of the Fremont people and early settlers who once traversed these lands.

The trail's condition can vary significantly, with washouts common, making some parts impassable depending on the weather. For those who manage to navigate its lengths, it reveals a diverse array of natural wonders, from secret grottos to historic inscriptions left by those who passed through long before it became a sought-after destination for adventurers.

Recent closures in the Moab area, including Tenmile Canyon, have sparked significant discussion and action within the outdoor and off-roading communities. The BlueRibbon Coalition, an advocate for public recreation access, has outlined a multifaceted response to these closures. Their plan includes challenging the decisions in court, pressuring Congress to intervene, controlling the media narrative to ensure balanced coverage, and rallying support from the industry, clubs, and the broader community. These efforts highlight the complexity of balancing conservation with access to these treasured lands and underscore the passion of those fighting to keep them open for future generations to explore and appreciate.

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 Tenmile 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 Tenmile 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 Tenmile 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.
