ST. GEORGE — While more people than ever are frequenting camping resources on the Arizona Strip, user fees have remained unchanged for over 25 years.
However, in recent months, the Bureau of Land Management has been gathering public input to determine whether this needs to change.
The Arizona Strip straddles the border of southern Utah and Arizona. The BLM Arizona Strip District Office in St. George manages it. The strip covers five wilderness areas, including the Paria Canyon, Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area, the Old Spanish National Historic Trail, nine areas of critical environmental concern and two river segments suitable for Wild and Scenic River designation.
Rachel Carnahan, BLM Arizona Strip public affairs specialist, told St. George News that many BLM Arizona recreation sites statewide require service and upgrades.
