BLM seeks public input on routes
CAÑON CITY, Colo. — As part of a comprehensive effort to catalogue existing routes in the 31 Mile Mountain and southern South Park area of northern Fremont and southern Park Counties, the Bureau of Land Management’s Royal Gorge Field Office is seeking public input on initial inventory efforts.
“We are working to compile an accurate assessment of routes on your public lands and how they are being used,” said Royal Gorge Field Manager, Doug Mayes. “With the help of the public, we can ensure we are making decisions on the best information possible.”
