As a long time stake holder in Sinks canyon, States Canyon Ranch, and as a member of the Park’s friends group, the Sinks Canyon Conservancy, I am grateful to all of those in the Lander community who voiced their opinions (so well captured in this article) which eventually lead to the State Park decision to drop their plan for the Via Ferrata as it was initially conceived.
