Government Wash is now closed to all vehicular traffic. One of the reasons given was that people were setting up camp there and staying for months, with resulting problems of crime (Rangers responded to 1300 incidents in 5 years) and trash strewn everywhere. Another factor cited was the damage to the ecosystem from the large number of user-created "roads" from people driving their vehicles all over the landscape.
