SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The Bureau of Land Management wants to charge the public more to visit the Little Sahara Recreation Area.
The 60,000-acre sand dune complex in Juab County has long been a popular spot for off-highway vehicles.
The agency will consider a number of fee changes, including eliminating the daily pass and implementing a two-day pass for $25 per vehicle and a seven-day pass for $40.
Revenue from the increases would cover costs ranging from law enforcement to pumping toilets.
The BLM's Resource Advisory-Recreation Council plans to discuss the proposed increase next week in St. George.
Aaron Curtis, the recreation leader for Utah's BLM office, says Little Sahara hasn't seen a fee increase since 2003.
