Tell your U.S. senators: Protect the Dolores River Canyon Country

While Colorado is most well-known for its jaw-dropping Rocky Mountain snow capped peaks and forests, the Dolores River, cutting through red rocks to create canyonlands that run from Cortez to Grand Junction, will leave you speechless.

But the future of the Dolores River Canyon Country is uncertain–imperiled by the long-term impacts of climate change and by the threat of development, including renewed interest in mining. We need better protections and management for this iconic place now and we don’t have years to wait. We must ensure that the Dolores River Canyon Country endures for future generations.

Tell your U.S senators to support creating a national monument in Mesa and Montrose Counties to protect this special area.
