![]() The authority granted by the section, however, requires the Superintendent to comply with the Administrative Procedures Act (6 USC Section 551), which requires public notice on actions with major impact on visitor use patterns, park resources or those that are highly controversial in nature.Īnother example is 36 CFR 1.6 Permits, which allows the Superintendent to require a permit for certain uses and activities in the park. Within some of these Part 1-7 sections and subsections, the Superintendent is granted discretionary authority to develop local rules to be responsive to the needs of a specific park resource or activity, park plan, program, and/or special needs of the general public.Īs an example, 36 CFR 1.5(a) Closures and Public Use Limits provides the Superintendent certain discretion in allowing or disallowing certain activities. Each of these Parts has many sections and subsections articulating specific provisions. Parts 1 through 6 are general regulations applicable to all areas of the National Park System, and Part 7 contains special regulations specific to individual parks. The regulations contained in 36 CFR, Parts 1-7, are the basic mechanism used by the National Park Service (NPS) to preserve and protect the natural and cultural resources of the park and to protect visitors and property within the park. The Superintendent’s Compendium does not repeat regulations found in 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and other United States Code Titles, which are enforced without further elaboration at the park level. It serves as public notice, identifies areas closed for public use, provides a list of activities requiring either a special use permit or reservation, and elaborates on public use and resource protection regulations pertaining specifically to the administration of the park. The Superintendent’s Compendium is the summary of park specific rules implemented under 36 Code of Federal Regulations (36 CFR). Their Barr Trail page mentions camping at the bottom and lists no restrictions along the trail, but just points out the A frame and Barr Camp.INTRODUCTION 1. Because Barr Trail TH is on private land, but he mentions the the Trail itself being on public.Īs far as backpacking in on the Barr Trail, other than certain resource protection/rehabilitation areas, I don't think the USFS blocks off areas for camping. I can't tell if that's what the OP is asking or not. I think there is a confusion on what is constituting "dispersed camping" here? Are we talking about car dispersed camping? That seems to be what WW and the others here are talking about. If it exists, I'd like to know, to help point others to it. I could see camping being inconvenient (ie: no good watersource nearby), but other than "we'd rather everyone camp at Barr Camp" preference, what would stop anyone from camping near Barr Trail?Īnd this is a legitimate question - Pikes Peak is one of the more industrialized mountains, so it would make sense if there is this special consideration - I just don't know what it is, exactly. ![]() I don't know of any legal spots near Barr Trail to camp, and it's frowned upon (lots of signs asking you not to).Ĭoncerning legality, how would it not be legal? Being in USFS and all, I'm wondering what the special consideration for not allowing it would be. ![]()
