Phil Lyman, a San Juan County commissioner is tired of waiting for the Bureau of Land Management to determine whether to allow ATVs back into Recapture Canyon, April 26, 2014, and has spearheaded a May 10, 2014 ATV ride throughout the canyon to protest the BLM's lack of leadership and decision making. While BLM's Utah office would not comment on Lyman's protest ride, a spokeswoman said the agency is still working on an environmental assessment analyzing potential impacts. The BLM expects to release it for public review and comment summer 2014.
