The Thompson Divide in Western Colorado has been a focal point for Wilderness Workshop and local outdoor enthusiasts alike.

The hard work is not over for Wilderness Workshop. Advocacy director Erin Riccio just returned from Washington D.C. She stopped by KDNK Monday morning to tell news host Mike Lemmer about the trip, and new threats to wilderness and communities from the energy sector.
