In the late 1990s, El Paso County worked with the Palmer Land Trust to acquire paint mines land for conservation, and in 2001 the county created Paint Mines Interpretive Park. The park includes several miles of trails, but much of the land will be kept in its natural state to minimize erosion and other disturbances.
