As many of you know, snowmobile groups are stone-walling wilderness designation for many special places in Colorado, even places that are currently closed to motorized traffic (but are unfortunately visited regularly by snowmobiling scofflaws). The Hidden Gems Wilderness Proposal needs your help now!


Congressman Polis is reviewing the Hidden Gems Wilderness Proposal for Summit and Eagle Counties.


It is absolutely critical that as many people as possible contact Rep. Polis in the next 20 days and urge him to introduce and support legislation protecting the Hidden Gems.


There are two really important ways you can act:
1) Simply click here to send Representative Polis a letter.
2) Attend one of three OPEN HOUSE MEETINGS during the first week of June. This is the single most important thing you can do to help make the Hidden Gems a reality and leave a legacy of wilderness for your children and grandchildren - in perpetuity. 


Click here to sign up for one of these CRITICAL meetings.


For other actions (make a phone call, sign our open letter of support, etc.) visit the Hidden Gems Action Center.


With your help, we can protect more than 243,000 acres of wild lands, backcountry opportunities and vital habitat in Central Colorado. Your action can preserve Colorado's backcountry!
