Senator Boxer's proposal would add 2.5 million acres to the already existing over 14 million acres of designated Wilderness in California. Under a Wilderness Area designation, numerous outdoor recreation enthusiasts would be shut out of some of their favorite places because of new restrictions on off-highway vehicles, mountain biking, equestrian, and even hiking
