Sacramento Ranger District
T64KY - Signed and used in the Mile-High enduro for many, many years. The last two markers were removed by Forest Service workers during the summer of 2004.
T90V - Signed for many years. Signs were removed in 2006 or 2007 and the trail has been relocated on Forest Service maps.
T112 - Willie White Spur Trail Not shown on the Travel Map, but this trail was open to motorcycles and four wheelers for many years.
A sign was erected in 2001 stating that the trail is closed to motor vehicles.
T257 - Wills-Hay Canyon Trail Although not shown on the Travel Map, this was formerly a marked trail. All trail markers were mysteriously removed either Fall 2002 or Spring 2003, and the author of the Lincoln National Forest Trail Guide was informed that this trail was "removed from the system."
T5579A - Indian Wells Trail Not shown on the Travel Map, but this trail has seen motorized use for many, many years. I made up a name and number for this trail to make it identifiable.
FR9656 - Crooked Canyon Road Shown as a road on the Travel Map. Fenced off either Fall 2002 or Spring 2003. No notice given to anybody that I am aware of. This was the closest access to a pine forest from the east side of the Lincoln National Forest. People who live in or east of Artesia do not realize what a scenic road they lost here.
