"Economic and Recreational Value: Roadless areas offer abundant outdoor recreation opportunities such as hiking, hunting, fishing, and camping in primitive settings. Every year, millions of people visit roadless outdoor areas and directly support a robust outdoor recreation economy. According to maps from Outdoor Alliance’s GIS Lab, roadless areas protect 11,337 climbing routes and boulder problems, more than 1,000 whitewater paddling runs, 43,826 miles of trail, and 20,298 mountain biking trails. Large sections of the Continental Divide, Pacific Crest, and Appalachian National Trails traverse protected roadless areas."
THank you.
