The fight for historic solutions that match the scale of the climate crisis needs YOU -And getting involved in OUR future has never been more important! Latinos and people of color are disproportionally impacted by the climate crisis, and this film follows four exceptional young women of color—Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Varshini Prakash, Rhiana Gunn-Wright, and Alexandra Rojas—as they navigate leadership challenges and fight for our generation's future.

Our hope with this map is to help people connect with the Roaring Fork and Colorado River Valley’s incredible public lands. Public lands are owned by a government agency (like Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Bureau of Land Management, or the US Forest Service) and available for everyone to visit and enjoy. They are part of what makes where we live so special! 

All of the places we’ve identified are ones you can visit with your whole family. The “Legend” on each map tells you other important information - what kind of activities you can do, if the site has a bathroom, etc. If you need camping or other outdoor gear, we encourage you to visit the XXX or XXX Gear Library, where you can borrow gear and test it out before you decided to purchase anything. 

When you visit these special places, be sure to remember they’re home to all sorts of animals: bears, birds, fish, insects, and many more! Treat both the land you’re visiting and the animals with respect - plan ahead and prepare for your visit, always dispose of your waste properly, and take only photos. This ensures these special places will be around for many years to come. 

Finally, a big thank you to all of our sponsors and partners (listed above) for making Camino Latino possible. I hope to see you outside!

Daniel Correa immigrated to the United States from Colombia when he was a kid with his family. He grew up in New Jersey for the majority of his life. Ever since he was a kid, Daniel has always been fascinated by the natural world and the outdoors; in part thanks to his parents taking him to the local urban parks and family camping trips. His curiosity and interest in nature led him to a B.A. in Environmental Science with a minor in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Daniel has used his college degree, and his passion for the environment to pursue a career in wetland habitat restoration and environmental education. He has worked on various restoration and conservation projects in the East and West Coast with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Americorps, and most recently with the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District.
