Sand Flats Gets Its Trail Supervisor Back
Grand County restored a lead recreation technician position at Sand Flats Recreation Area, citing more visitors and 10 more miles of trail to maintain.
Sand Flats, home of Hell's Revenge and Fins and Things, is getting a little more help. The Moab Times Independent reports Grand County commissioners unanimously reclassified a Sand Flats technician as a lead recreation technician on August 18, effective August 31.
The details
- It restores a supervisory position that had gone unfilled for several years
- County materials show visitation is up 9% in four years, and Sand Flats has added 10 miles of trail to maintain
- The lead technician will supervise fieldwork and seasonal technicians
- The paper reports it is paid from the Sand Flats enterprise fund, not the county's general fund
Our take
Sand Flats is one of the busiest and best run recreation areas around, and it takes real people to keep it that way. Your entry fee goes to work right there. Thank the staff when you roll through the gate.
