Rocky Mountain National Park grew by 40 acres on Monday, thanks to a donation of land from local former astronaut Vance Brand and his family.
The Brand family, RMNP staff and Rocky Mountain Conservancy officials gathered at the park Monday to celebrate the addition.
In 2019, the family donated the 40-acre parcel to the Rocky Mountain Conservancy. Late in that year, Rep. Joe Neguse introduced the Rocky Mountain National Park Boundary Modification Act. By December 2020, the bipartisan bill passed in the Senate and was sent to the desk of then-President Donald Trump, who signed it on Jan. 5, 2021.
