The comment

I am opposed to the proposed changes to roadless areas. As a mountain biker, I value opportunities to recreate on trails that are not used by motorists. Motorcycles and dirt bikes quickly deteriorate the quality of the trail, disrupt wildlife, and cause noise pollution, prohibiting me from seeing wildlife of my own. It also disrupts the hunting I do in these areas. Some of my favorite trails that fall into this category in Northwest Montana include the following: - Warm Springs Complex at Lost Trail Pass: Warm Springs Ridge, Colter Creek, Porcupine, Fire Creek, Warm Springs Creek - Palisades/Willow Creek - All of Rock Creek outside of Welcome Cr W - Carlton Ridge and Mill Creek - Petty Mountain and Albert Creek Rescinding the roadless rule in place would ruin the experience of the thousands of people currently accessing and maintaining these areas. Thank you for your consideration.
