TRANSCRIPT
The Bighorn Backcountry is managed to ensure protection of the environment, while allowing responsible recreation use. It is your responsibility to know what, where and when activities are permitted in the area. For additional details refer to the Bighorn Backcountry brochure.The Cutoff Creek area contains a large trail network. Both non-motorized users and off-highway vehicle users may be on the same trail at the same time. By being responsible and obeying regulations, you will be respecting the efforts that volunteers have invested in providing you with this opportunity. Everyone has a stewardship role to play. If you see volunteers working on trail, stop and lend a helping hand. Remember, continued access to this area depends on the actions of those who use it. Note that some areas or sections of trail may be closed due to environmental and safety concerns. You are required to obey all posted signs and notices and keep the area in a clean and tidy condition. Off-highway vehicles and snow vehicles must remain on the designated trails at all times which includes designated bridges and water crossings. Snow vehicles must remain inside the boundaries of the random sledding areas. Note that these designated trails in this area have timing restrictions which differ for off-highway vehicles and snow vehicles.All off-highway vehicles and snow vehicles on public land require:• valid registration and insurance (including those under
50cc);• licenceplatemustbevisibleandproperlyaffixedtothe
OHV;• tail lamp on vehicle capable of emitting a red light visible
from at least 60 metres (185 feet);• at least one white headlamp on vehicle front capable of
illuminating a person, vehicle or thing from at least 60 metres (185 feet); and
• properexhaustmufflerwithsparkarrestor.Random camping is not permitted within 1 km of any public land recreation area, provincial recreation area or provincial park within the Bighorn Backcountry area.
No matter how you enjoy Alberta’s public lands, your presence has an impact. Please respect the land and other users by:• Staying on the designated trail at all times.• Respecting others by sharing the trail; motorized users
must yield to non-motorized users. • Pulling over to the right side of the trail, turning off
the engine and removing helmets when horses are approaching.
• Packing out all garbage.• Avoiding spinning your tires, skidding or “mud-bogging.” • Respecting wildlife. • Respecting reforestation, reclamation, restoration and
volunteer maintenance efforts.• Washing your vehicle between uses to prevent weed
transfer between areas. • Never washing a vehicle in a creek, river or lake.• Preventing fuel spillage with careful storage and refueling
practices.• Reporting unauthorized or illegal activities to local
authorities.Geocaching – There are multiple geocache sites located within the Bighorn Backcountry. Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to locate a geocachecontainerhiddenatthatlocation.Tofindvarioussitesvisit www.geocaching.com.Emergency Contacts9-1-1 in case of emergency Cellular phone service may or may not be available in this area.1-866-FYI-FIRE (1-866-394-3473) for Fire Ban information or visitwww.albertafirebans.ca.310-FIRE(310-3473)toreportawildfire.Fordailyfirehazardinformation,fireweatherforecastsandfiresituationreportsvisitwww.wildfire.alberta.ca.1-800-642-3800 for Report-A-Poacher hunting andfishingviolationsandpubliclandabuses.1-800-222-6514 for Environmental Spill & Incident Reporting.
