CMC Signs on to support Continental Divide Wilderness & Recreation Act

This proposal includes protection for 58,000 acres in Summit and Eagle Counties including 3 new Wilderness areas, 5 Wilderness expansions, and several Special/Recreation Management Areas. The designation will help to protect a variety of human-powered backcountry recreation opportunities and we are excited to help preserve this important landscape.
