Existing condition (in total miles) — national forest roads within the Dixie National Forest — 2,379 miles of authorized routes; 1,226 miles of unauthorized routes.

Proposed action (in total miles) — national forest roads within the Dixie National Forest (five districts) — 2,606 miles of authorized routes; 402 miles of unauthorized routes. All routes not designated to the motorized travel system will be considered unauthorized routes and motorized use of those routes will be illegal.
