Many of the National Forests are easily reached from the great highways of the country.

Building a forest road with light tractor and grader, Deschutes National Forest, Oregon...Many of the roads built by the Forest Service are strictly protective roads, that is, narrow, mountain roads, built primarily to enable the Forest Rangers to get to forest fires in inaccessible areas of the National Forests. Many of the National Forest roads, however, have high value in the development of the region. All are of importance in protecting the forests from damage by fire, and most of them are of great benefit to the dwellers in the neighboring regions, and to visitors to the National Forest Playgrounds.. |
