Protected land is not just a view. It is habitat, movement, water, food, shelter, and space for life to continue season after season.

The next time you’re outside, take a second to look closer. There is always more happening than you think.

MIRASOL gives us a closer look at the land and water behind Pueblo agriculture.

It is the same landscape you’ll experience at Bike the Bessemer, where farms, irrigation, local food, and community all come together along the route.

Watch the film, then come see part of the story in person. MIRASOL is available to watch for free, and registration is open for Bike the Bessemer, but space is limited.

This 674-acre property in Woodland Park will one day become publicly accessible open space, giving the community a new place to hike, explore, and experience the mountain landscapes that define the Pikes Peak region..

The property sits alongside thousands of acres of existing federal public lands, creating exciting opportunities to improve outdoor recreation connections across the broader region.

That kind of access does not happen by accident. It takes timing, partnership, funding, and a willingness to protect places before they are lost to a different future.

Pinestone Ranch is now on a path toward public open space, and we’re excited for what comes next!

The story of MIRASOL begins with land and water, but it quickly becomes a story about people.

It’s about families who have farmed in Pueblo County for generations. It is about the water that makes local agriculture possible. It is about what can happen when that water leaves the land.

If you care about local food, Colorado water, or the future of working lands, this film is worth your time.

What can you expect at Bike the Bessemer?

A beautiful ride through eastern Pueblo County along some of the most productive, verdant farms in the region. A closer look at the farms and water systems that help feed this region. Time outside with people who care about local food, land, and community. And a chance to experience St. Charles Mesa in a way that is completely different than driving past it.

This event is part ride, part field trip, and a full celebration of Pueblo agriculture. If you’ve been thinking about joining us, this is your sign to register, bring a friend, and make a day of it.

MIRASOL is a story about multi-generational farming families in Pueblo, but their challenges are like those of many farm families across the West.

For us, this work is close to home. Protecting farmland is about more than acres. It is about water, food, community, and the people who continue to care for these places generation after generation.

Watch MIRASOL and share it with someone who cares about the future of Colorado’s working lands.
