    (b) Designation.--The trails depicted on the Map as the Shoshone 
National Recreation Trail are hereby designated as a national 
recreation trail and shall be known as the ``Shoshone National 
Recreation Trail''.
    (c) Management.--
            (1) In general.--Except as otherwise provided in this Act, 
        the appropriate Secretary shall manage the Trail as a national

        shall make every reasonable effort to enter into cooperative 
        agreements with the State of Utah Department of Natural 
        Resources and appropriate county governments (separately, 
        collectively, or in an any combination, as agreed by the 
        parties) for management of the Trail.
            (3) Motorized and nonmotorized use.--The primary purpose of
