South of LaJunta, the road to Picketwire Canyon travels through verdant green prairie in late May. Picketwire and the Purgatoire River are threatened by the proposed US Army expansion of the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site. This plan would take 418,000 acres from centennial ranchers across southeast Colorado.
