The National Park Service released a preliminary study Thursday that identifies spots in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico that it says are worthy of being included in the parks system.
The sites are in the San Luis Valley and Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar — who was born and raised in the San Luis Valley — requested the study, but only Congress can authorize a more in-depth review to look at the nuts-and-bolts of designating sites as parks or landmarks.
Park Service spokesman David Barna said the hope is that a lawmaker will ask for that next step. The Associated Press
