President Biden designated Camp Hale in Colorado as a national monument during his first stop on a tour of the U.S. West
Biden signed a proclamation establishing the Camp Hale-Continental Divide National Monument to protect the 53,804-acre area during a ceremony at the site. It was the first national monument declaration of his presidency.
Among those introducing Biden was Democratic U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, who helped lead the charge for the designation and is in a tight reelection race against Republican Joe O'Dea. Biden also announced that he is blocking new mining claims and mineral leases on approximately 225,000 acres in the Thompson Divide area of western Colorado for at least two years and possibly for two decades.
