We would particularly like to express our appreciation for the efforts and cooperation of U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall as well as the San Juan Citizens Alliance and Sheep Mountain Alliance in helping craft this bill in such a way as to allow continued access for our event while protecting the environment and beauty of this area. We think this bill serves as a great example of groups working together and communicating with each other to reach a mutually beneficial outcome.

We urge everyone who appreciates and utilizes this area to contact his or her congressman and urge a “yes” vote on this bill.
