The horses you have seen in the canyon are carrying cement to a mine that is being shut off.
Yep, the activity involving personnel, horses, vehicles, etc. at Springdale (2 miles downstream of Jamestown) are here with our blessing. They are with the Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS) and are filling, sealing, gating, or otherwise blocking around 16 abandoned mining features on or around our property. In addition to making the various openings safe, they are also working to preserve habitat for bats. I believe they expect the work to last through October. Please take care when driving through, as folks are sometimes riding along the shoulder between the staging area and various sites.
