Valley County Considers Mining Company's Proposal to Open Warren Wagon Road Early
Valley County is reviewing a proposal from Sidney Resources Corp., a mining company based in Vancouver, Washington, to open Warren Wagon Road earlier than usual. The road, which provides access to Burgdorf Hot Springs, Secesh, and Warren, is typically closed to wheeled vehicles during the winter months. Sidney Resources Corp. has filed for permits to clear snow from the road, aiming to restore access to its gold and silver mine near Warren. The proposal is under consideration by the Board of County Commissioners, who have yet to make a decision. The road is usually a groomed snowmobile route until late April, but this year, grooming ended early due to limited snowfall and warm temperatures. The proposal has raised concerns about setting a precedent for future early openings and potential damage to the road.
