"San Juan County has been awarded more than $250,000 to help address the impacts of increasing outdoor recreation in its backcountry.
Great Outdoors Colorado, which receives money from the state’s lottery, granted San Juan County $260,000 to “advance outdoor recreation, stewardship and land protection” to meet “urgent needs and priorities” in the San Juan Mountains..." etc

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, it was crazy-crowded last summer all over the place in CO (and I'm sure everywhere). Lots of LNT-abuse. trash. poop. hoards of people.

I wonder if this initiative will extend to and benefit other neighboring counties? San Juan county is a little teeny-tiny thing. I'm guessing only 20 miles or so of the CT passes through it, just a guess, but it does have some spectacular areas, like that Ice Lakes Basin mentioned.
