BLM Approves Categorical Exclusion for MASOR Overland Tours Project
The Bureau of Land Management has signed a Categorical Exclusion (CX) for the MASOR Overland Tours Project in the San Rafael Swell Recreation Area. This decision allows the project proponent to conduct guided, three-day overland tours both north and south of Interstate 70 using licensed and insured street-legal vehicles. The proponent anticipates hosting one to two events annually, with tours scheduled in spring (typically March) and fall. Campsites for the tours include Slipper Arch and a second location approximately 2.6 miles east of Swasey’s Cabin, between Swasey Cabin Road and Rods Valley Road. The CX determination confirms that the project meets NEPA requirements without significant environmental impacts, ensuring compliance with BLM land use plans and resource protection standards.
