FILE - This May 23, 2016, file photo, shows the northernmost boundary of the proposed Bears Ears region, along the Colorado River, in southeastern Utah. President Barack Obama designated two national monuments Wednesday, Dec. 28, at sites in Utah and Nevada that have become key flash points over use of public land in the U.S. West. Utah lawmakers have backed a resolution urging the state to be prepared to sue the U.S. government if Washington leaders don't start handing over federal land to the state. Members of a House natural resources committee on Friday, Feb. 24, 2017, approved the proposal, despite concern from one lawmaker that it could be costly and hurt the environment.

FILE - In this July 15, 2016 file photo, traffic is backed up both going up and down the Mount Evans Scenic Byway just below the summit of Mount Evans near Idaho Springs, Colo. In a 2011 case, Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch was on a panel that found that the U.S. Forest Service could legally charge fees to visit the summit because it provided amenities like a nature center, which thousands of visitors use annually. The people who filed the lawsuit had argued that they should not have to pay to visit Mount Evans if they don’t use those services. Writing for the panel, Gorsuch said the fees were permissible, but left open the possibility that the fees could be challenged, just not the way the plaintiffs sought to. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski)
