Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site, Military training site in Las Animas County, Colorado, US.
The base spans 235,896 acres of semiarid rangeland with elevations ranging from 4,300 to 5,800 feet along the Purgatoire River.
The United States Army purchased the land in 1983, utilizing eminent domain for almost half the area as numerous landowners refused to sell their properties.
The region contains ancient Native American rock art and petroglyphs within rocky canyons, plus a branch of the Santa Fe Trail near its boundaries.
The facility conducts two major annual exercises, each involving 5,000 troops, 300 tracked vehicles, and 400 wheeled vehicles across its wilderness terrain.
The National Wildlife Federation acknowledged the site in 1988 for its environmental management practices and contribution to natural resource conservation.
