Last fall Montezuma County embarked on an ambitious plan: building a non-motorized, mixed-use trail between Cortez and Mancos by way of Mesa Verde. Supported by the Colorado Governor’s Office, the project is a collaboration between the county, various state and federal agencies, and the public. The next public meeting for the Paths to Mesa Verde is Tuesday night from 6 to 8pm at the Cortez Recreation Center. To learn more about the County’s progress, KSJD's Austin Cope sat down with Montezuma County Natural Resource Planning and Public Lands Coordinator James Dietrich.
