CASPER, Wyo. – The Casper Field Office had decided to postpone the closing of Muddy Mountain Road until there is a major snow fall or weather conditions change requiring the closure for safety.
“Upon an evaluation of the mountain this morning and with the continued dry weather forecast, we have decided to keep the Muddy Mountain road open at this time.,” said Cullen Hardy, acting Outdoor Recreation Planner, Casper Field Office. “Once we get a significant snowfall or weather change that makes the road too dangerous to use, we will reevaluate the situation and close the road.”
Muddy Mountain Road is the primary access route to the Muddy Mountain Environmental Education Area, two campgrounds, numerous trails and public lands managed by the BLM.
The BLM strives to be a good neighbor in the communities we serve, where we provide opportunities for economic growth with space for traditional uses such as ranching, mining, logging, and energy development as well as hunting and fishing.
