City Seeks Comments on Horse Gulch Open Space Management Plan

Durango, CO: The City of Durango is seeking comments from the public on the Horse Gulch
Open Space Management Plan. The draft Management Plan provides a framework for the
sound stewardship of the Horse Gulch open space area and is available for review on the City’s
website at durangogov.org and by clicking on Hot Topics.
Horse Gulch is part of a large open space and recreational area that includes public lands
owned by the City of Durango, La Plata County, and the Bureau of Land Management. This
entire landscape encompasses more than 3,600 acres and includes the Telegraph, Raider
Ridge and Horse Gulch Trail System – an approximately 60-mile natural surface single track trail
network used exclusively for non-motorized recreation.
Public comments on the draft Management Plan are encouraged and should be submitted in
writing by email to rec@durangogov.org by January 31, 2013. For additional information,
