I’m a giant fan of John and his work, but I tend to agree. DIA has 50+ square miles and it’s basically private. Malone and the Kronkes own some big chunks of land, not sure if they leave them open. There are some places on the western slope, north central to north western Colorado and the in the south east where it could be dry challenging to get to. With forestry support, I think it is possible but not easy. There are probably multiple square miles sections of BLM range in the north east without any real access roads; nothing prevents you from getting there but it’d be a long hike or horseback/atv ride with maybe not a lot of photographic targets.
It sounds like hyperbole, but John is a Colorado legend and if he says it, then I think it is true or shockingly close to being true. He has tons of photographic evidence of being in a lot of fairly challenging to visit places.
- ghaff 4y agoI thought of DIA and it's pretty massive and I'm pretty sure a private individual isn't going to be wandering out by the runways, service hangers, and so forth. And I'm sure there are some huge private ranches as well.

- humanizersequel 4y agoIf anyone could get permission to go on private lands for non-essential purposes like photography, surely it'd be Fielder?
- defaultcompany 4y agoDIA has not been around for 40 years. Maybe he went to those square miles before it was built?
