Economic Importance of OHV Recreation in Arizona2002, Arizona State University conducted a yearlong economic study of recreational off-highway vehicle use in Arizona Creates a statewide economic impact of $4.25 billion (multiplier effect*) Contributes $3.1 billion to local economies through OHV-related retail sales Adds $187 million to annual state tax revenues Provides $1.1 billion in household income (salaries/wages) for AZ residents Supports 36,951 full-time and part-time jobs in Arizona
- 28. Wyoming State Trails - 2006 “A survey and Economic Assessment of off-road vehicle use in Wyoming" Residents reported spending an average of $27.04 per day, Non-residents reported spending an average of $31.70 per person per day on trips to Wyoming and $243.03 annually in the state of Wyoming (in addition to trip expenses). The result is an estimated $149.1 million in total trip spending by both registered and non-registered resident ORV users. Based on the projected number of ORVs in the state, residents spent over $189 million on ORVs and related expenses in 2006.
- 29. Wyoming State Trails - 2006 “A survey and Economic Assessment of off-road vehicle use in Wyoming" The results show that an estimated 127 new jobs and an additional $3.3 million in earnings are contributed to the Wyoming economy by registered non-resident ORV users. If the same ratio of resident registered users to total users as found in the telephone survey is applied to non-residents, then the jobs and earnings estimate would increase to 679 jobs and over $17.6 million in earnings.

- Use of All Terrain Vehicles (ATV’s) is allowed on designated open roads. These roads are available to all motorized vehicles during non-winter months. Snowmobilers may enjoy good winter conditions on numerous trails on the mountain from November 26 to March 15. Trails are restricted in order to discourage encroachment onto winter ranges for deer and elk. However, there is approximately 300 miles of groomed trails in the area, many of which are on Craig Mountain WMA.Use of All Terrain Vehicles (ATV’s) is allowed on designated open roads.

- Hunt Planner has a query feature that allows you to tailor your hunting trip. From the query you choose what type of hunting you are interested in. I chose to look at all big game general hunting opportunities and then refined my search to Unit 29 in the Salmon Region. From the list of available hunts, you can click on the unit link and all sorts of information is at your fingertips including season dates, bag limits, all the applicable rules and regulations, prior season harvest statistics, public access information, links to land manager web pages, Access Yes! properties, land use/land cover information, links to weather, local area Lodging, Camping and services, regional airports, and the IDFG interactive Map Center, where you can build a customized map, save and print for your planned hunt.
