EL PASO COUNTY — One of Colorado's popular photo hot-spots could soon see some changes to protect its landscape.
The Paint Mines, south of Calhan, are a place of history and beauty.
Its unique colors and formations draw attention from locals and visitors across the U.S.
Unfortunately, it is also becoming damaged.
Melissa Hensley visited the site from Tennessee. Despite the beauty, she was upset by what she saw.
“The rocks are gorgeous, the formations are amazing. It bothers me that there is people climbing over the rocks, which surely you’re gonna damage it,” she says.
But, that could all change. News5 Piper Vaughn has the story.
