Is Leadville one of Colorado's hidden gems? redT Homes thinks so. With affordability being a huge concern for many entering the housing market in Colorado, seeing Leadville land on the list of most affordable mountain towns shows we are in the right place. Even with "pricey Aspen" not far away, as the article mentions, "there aren’t many outside of Colorado who are familiar with Leadville, but if you visit, you’ll not only find more affordable accommodation and great eats but all kinds of things to do." As we stay committed to our mission to build a greener and more accessible Colorado, we have 28 homes in development in Leadville. Trips To Discover points out some of the reasons why we keep growing into mountain towns like this one. #redThomes #BuildingAGreenerColorado #housingmarket #colorado #rockymountainrealestate

Are we valuing our national parks enough? Zion National Park's $70 million repair backlog begs the question. With worn roads and closed trails, the park's infrastructure is struggling to keep up with visitor numbers. - 90% of the park is wilderness, yet most visitors gather in easily accessible areas, adding strain to roads and facilities. - The deferred maintenance challenges point to a pressing need for dedicated federal funding for repairs. - Trails like the famed Angels Landing and Emerald Pools face closure or repair, highlighting the impact of increased visitation. The gem of southern Utah is at a crossroads—will we secure the future of our natural treasures or allow them to deteriorate further? It's time for action and investment in preserving these vital spaces for generations to come. https://lnkd.in/gVDihcCD

💫Good finding to start the week💫 Ground level open car parks in urban areas are the perfect example of underdeveloped land. It is not often that you find car parks that are not owned by large corporations or by the Council. This one is privately owned which is a plus. #ukpropertydevelopment #landsearch #plothunting #land #planning #sempreproperty #Guildford

Welcome to the newest national parks National Park ServiceTrying to explore all of the country’s national parkland in one summer is a lot more difficult now than when President Roosevelt cut the ribbon for the first one at Yellowstone in 1872. There are now 63 destinations with “National Park” in their name, but there are 429 “national park sites,” which include everything from battlefields to seashores. And they keep adding more: Last year, additional designations were made to preserve natural elements, like the three new scenic trails added to the National Park System (NPS). But others were to recognize a location’s history, like the Amache National Historic Site in Granada, CO—the site of a former Japanese Internment Camp, which detained nearly 7,000 Japanese Americans during WWII. Here are some other recent additions you can visit: In 2020, the NPS added New River Gorge National Park & Preserve in West Virginia, popular for white-water rafting and rock climbing. White Sands National Park in New Mexico (home to the world’s largest gypsum dune field) and Indiana Dunes National Park were both added in 2019. Big year for dunes. What’s in it for the parks? The two biggest reasons to snag the official “National Park” label are conservation and federal funds. The government has a ton of public land designations, but the national park status provides the most protection from mining, logging, and other private industries. National parks can also use federal taxpayer money for upkeep, but that comes with the loaded option of charging visitors to visit the park. https://lnkd.in/gJj_7Hgp

Thinking about a future for Texas State Parks and the Texas Hill Country. We need to break out of the preconception that a "park" must entail a single, unbroken stretch of public land. Instead, if we envision a park that is a patchwork of public and private lands - by design not by accident - then we can talk about the ways that we can protect the natural beauty, expand recreational opportunities and safeguard traditional economic livelihoods. https://lnkd.in/gcznjMk9
