Bill would make corner crossing legal in Wyoming, settling long-running debate
A bill filed in the Wyoming Legislature would clarify that corner crossing is not trespassing, an explanation that would resolve long-simmering access questions to 2.4 million acres of public land in Wyoming.House Bill 99, “Access to public lands-corner crossing,” would amend statutes relating to criminal trespass and hunting without permission. If passed, the measure would protect people’s right to access public land, even if they pass through the air above private property to do so.
That right remains clouded despite two court cases favoring access.
