Whether you're joining the Uranium Trail Peace Caravan for an afternoon, or the entire journey, here's where you'll find all the details you need:

Route  The caravan will wind its way on Friday, August 5th from the starting point in Rulison, where three atomic bombs have been detonated underground since 1969, through Grand Junction, Uravan, Ridgeway and Montrose, Colorado.  On August 6th, the caravan will continue through Gunnison and Salida, ending in Canon City, home of the controversial Cotter Corp Uranium Mill, which has been sited for multiple offenses against pollution guidelines. 

 

Ceremonies and press events are planned at each stop along the way, where Japanese origami peace cranes will be collected from neighboring communities.  The cranes will be dedicated in a final ceremony in Canon City, then shipped to the Hiroshima Memorial Peace Park in Japan, where millions of other cranes rest as a prayer for peace.
