In Defense of Off-Roading


Recommended Posts

I met Wes at a Taste of Dakar some years ago and he seems like a good dude.  Happy to see him write something like this and in a magazine like Outside which has been known to be mostly anti-OHV.  I only wish more companies donating to "environmental" groups would also donate to responsible trail advocacy groups.

One of my favorite parts:

“If a hiker starts a devastating fire, the world at large doesn’t get the idea that hiking is a negative activity,” says Duane Taylor, executive director of the National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council, referring specifically to last year’s Eagle Creek Fire, which was started when a teenage day hiker threw fireworks into dry brush in Mount Hood National Forest. Yet readers don’t complain about our hiking coverage.
