Our History
The Colorado National Monument Association was first incorporated in 1964 as the Colorado – Black Canyon Natural History Association. In 1977 that organization was reorganized, and we acquired our current name, Colorado National Monument Association.
Education
Colorado National Monument Association (CNMA), a nonprofit organization, exists solely to assist and support Colorado National Monument. Proceeds from our retail operations, memberships, and donations support the monument’s educational, interpretive, and scientific programs.
Tranquility
The tranquility and serenity of the monument cannot help but impress all who stand and listen to its quiet beauty. Come and enjoy Colorado National Monument today.
Rebecca (Becky) Sue Warren
Becky was a beloved seasonal ranger at Colorado National Monument for multiple years. Becky recently passed after a long battle with illness, and her family is asking for donations to be made in her honor to the Colorado National Monument Junior Ranger Program. A program which she had a strong passion for.
Becky was a highlight to all she met, and she will be deeply missed by everyone that was fortunate to have worked with her.
