  Too Wild to Drill - Roan Plateau
Roan Plateau is an island of undisturbed rich natural values surrounded by a sea of intense gas drilling and development on both public and private land.
Roan Plateau has no formal protection, although much of the cliffs and top of the plateau are part of Colorado’s 1.6 million-acre Citizens' Wilderness Proposal that was introduced as legislation by Congresswoman Diana DeGette beginning in 1999, and in subsequent congresses.
Management of the Roan Plateau was transferred to the BLM from the Department of Energy in 1997, requiring the BLM to conduct a public planning process to develop a management plan for the area.

  Roan (color) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roan is a type of coat color in horses (and, occasionally, in other animals, such as dogs and cattle) that is a mixture of white hairs with a base coat of another color.
Roan, caused by the roan gene, (R), consists of single white hairs intermingled with the base color of a horse.
Roan can also appear on any base color or mixture of colors, so there are also buckskin roans, silver dapple roans, etc. Contrary to some belief, the varnish roan coloring is not caused by the roan gene, but the result of the varnish roan gene combined with an appaloosa (normally spots, blankets, etc.) coloring.

 Grey Roan horse color   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Roan is similar to grey in that it is a pattern of individual white hairs sprinkled into the coat.
Unlike grey, roan horses are born roan and stay the same color throughout their lives (although they may appear lighter or darker in their winter coats).
Also, the head, legs, mane and tail of a roan horse are solid-colored and do not display "roaning." This makes roan easy to distinguish from grey, since the face of a grey horse is the first part of the body that begins to lighten.

 Equine Color - Horse & Pony Color Genetics Information
Roan is a color pattern caused by white hairs mixing with colored hairs.
Roan is not progressive - a horse will be born Roan (although it is usually not visible until the foal is a few months old) and will be Roan until it dies.
On Roan horses the head, legs, mane and tail will be a solid color with maybe only a few white hairs present, any white markings on the head or legs may have roan edges but this is due to the white marking, not the Roan.
