My family has hiked and camped in Superior National Forest in MN for over a decade. This rule is the reason this national forest is wild enough to camp in and the trails worth hiking because they're free from noise pollution. Destruction to this national wilderness is not reversible once it's gone. Roadless areas see fewer human-caused wildfires than roaded ones. Wildfires are 4 times more likely to start near roads. Roads don't reduce fire risks, it increases it. Roadless areas are carbon vaults, keeping our air clean. Many of these areas are the foundation of a pristine watershed, and the Superior National Forest ensures that Lake Superior stays clean. Road maintenance is significantly more costly than no roads. Please keep the 2001 Roadless Rule intact.
