The Responsible Official signed a decision record under which the BLM will designate and maintain the existing Goblin City Trail as a hiking (nonmotorized) trail, more definitively mark the route, and expand it by 0.35 mile using hand tools. The BLM would reestablish the old trailhead, replace the existing fire ring, and place a picnic table at the campsite. The project location is on BLM-administered land in Uintah County, Utah on the south side of the White about a quarter mile downriver from its intersection with Atchee Wash Road.
