U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, both Colorado Democrats, are sponsors of the Dolores River National Conservation Area and Special Management Area Act, the product of more than 15 years of discussions among governments and interest groups in southwest Colorado. The bill would protect more than 68,000 acres of land along a 70-mile stretch of the Dolores River through Montezuma, Dolores, and San Miguel counties.
