Picture this: You’re hiking in a remote, high alpine area of the national forest in southwest Colorado. You haven’t seen another human in many miles, if at all, and so you’re a little more than startled when you encounter a herd of cows wandering through the recreation area. Don’t panic. The livestock are supposed to be there – and you are, too. Recreation and agriculture are two of Colorado’s largest economic drivers, and they often coexist in regions where there are abundant public lands.
