I’ve taken my little Subaru, Pearl, as I fondly call her, many fantastic places over the years. We’ve deftly (and maybe a bit foolishly) crawled over rocks, barreled through conglomerates of mud and snow with gumption, and fishtailed through areas of deep sand. Though we’ve had some incredible adventures and witnessed some beautiful landscapes across the American West, none are quite like the Eagle Valley, where one can find themselves driving between pinyon-juniper desert along the Colorado River to wandering through altitudes enriched by the whispers of pines and trembling leaves of aspens.
Fortunately, over 14,000 acres across 38 properties of this landscape is protected permanently by the Eagle Valley Land Trust. These conserved properties maintain the values that our community depends on, including scenic open space, wildlife habitat, areas for recreation and education, and historically significant lands.
