We've been working with Missoula, MT to create a parks and recreation map for the Town. After several rounds of edits, we're almost there. Though there are lots of fun features on the map, my favorite is their mountain backdrop peak finder. The aerial photo clearly shows off their "Letter Mountains", the M on Mount Sentinel (towering over the University of Montana) and the L located on Mount Jumbo. The "peace sign" is just out of view on Water Works Hill.

Conserving Land Along the San Juan Skyway
We've done a lot of work in beautiful SW Colorado (for Alpine Loop examples see here, here, here and here).
The area has drop-dead gorgeous scenery, fascinating American Indian and mining history and unbeatable outdoor recreation. Perhaps the greatest jewel in the region is the All-American San Juan Skyway - a scenic and historic byway that traverses an incredible landscape from desert to high mountains.
The Trust For Public Land is a great organization that we've worked with on projects across the western US and they've been working in the Skyway region for many years. They were pivotal in the tremendously successful Red Mountain project and here's one they're working on now, just south of Lizard Head Pass:
With a little luck, these high mountain properties will soon be publicly accessible US Forest Service lands! Congrats to TPL on this and many other successes in the San Juan Skyway area.
