By Charles Pekow — Mountain biking will be restricted on certain Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands in Colorado and Utah during specific times of the year to protect the habitat of the threatened Gunnison Sage-Grouse. The BLM lands are in Delta, Dolores, Gunnison, Hinsdale, Mesa, Montezuma, Montrose, Ouray, Saguache, and San Miguel Counties in Colorado and Grand and San Juan Counties in Utah.

E-bikes will also be prohibited in the Sugar Creek and Chance Gulch areas during the species’ critical breeding and nesting season, which runs from March 15 to July 15.
