If many popular off-highway vehicle routes are along county roads, as Clear Creek staff members believe, then OHV use is illegal.
County GIS Director Matt Taylor said that recent research found that the county has claimed at least sections of Jones Pass, Rainbow, Ute Creek, Saxon Mountain and Cascade Creek roads, among others, since the 1950s.
According to County Attorney Robert Loeffler, OHV use on county roads is illegal by state law.
“We can’t have our own website telling people to do something our sheriff can arrest them for,” Commissioner Randy Wheelock said.
