Echo Park Dam access roads a race between states
A reader argues that neither Colorado nor Utah will build the Echo Park Dam access road. The Bureau of Reclamation and builders will determine the route, favoring low elevation, around Blue Mountain, Vernal to Island Park, via Whirlpool Canyon. Utah’s path appears favored, with nature and geology guiding the decision. Artesia and western Colorado push for a state gain, while the real road choice hinges on feasibility and economics.

It says less than two of every ten dollars go to guns, ships, or planes, with most funds for personnel and supplies.
