SAVE ALTA LAKES

In late December 2009, a neighboring Alta Lakes landowner purchased the Silver Mountain Industries (SMI) holdings. While the new owner has made no statements regarding future plans for the area, SMA has worked with these landowners in the past and is hopefully confident that they intend to preserve the property as open space, protecting the high-alpine habitat for generations to come.

As our regional environment continues to be threatened with destruction on many fronts, we are extremely thankful for those who have the resources and compassion to protect and preserve the fragile habitats we all depend on and enjoy.

 

 

 

 
 

The exquisite sight, sound, and smell of wilderness is many times more powerful if it is earned through physical achievement, if it comes at the end of a long and fatiguing trip for which vigorous good health is necessary. Practically speaking, this means that no one should be able to enter a wilderness by mechanical means. ~Garrett Hardin, The Ecologist, February 1974
