The Colorado Roadless Project documents several of the best recreational opportunities in Colorado’s Roadless Areas. Each area, chosen for it’s exceptional natural beauty and epic mountain biking, hiking, climbing, and paddling, was documented with photos, videos, maps and articles to increase awareness of these amazing areas and the need to continue to protect them.
The Colorado Roadless Rule is now open for public comment through July 14, 2011. Though the 2001 rule offers the best protection of these profoundly important resources, there certainly are a number of ways to improve the proposed rule so that attempts to open pristine backcountry to industrial development are limited and taking care of Colorado's open spaces, wild landscapes and intact ecosystems are a top priority.
