  • Itinerary Overview and Travel Information
    Itinerary Overview Colorado Winter Expedition for Veterans - 6 Days Your course begins at the Leadville Mountain Center where we start with a basic introduction to backcountry travel. Then you will journey with your fellow veterans into the high-country wilderness, where the real magic takes place. You do not need to have any previous backcountry, winter, or snowshoeing experience. We teach you everything you need to know to travel in the backcountry—how to pack appropriately, set up camp in the winter, how to navigate avalanche terrain and evaluate snow conditions. Winter in the Colorado Rockies is unlike anywhere else in the U.S. The high altitude means it is common to hike above tree line, with sweeping views of snow-clad mountains surrounding you. There’s a good reason many local adventurers say winter is their favorite season. Many veterans who choose this special environment for their Outward Bound expedition say that their experience gives them a new, valuable, and unexpected perspective. Travel in this winter environment can be as demanding as it is rewarding. It can take every waking moment to get from point A to point B and will draw upon many of the leadership and teamwork skills you’ve learned from your time in the service. From getting up early to pack your bags and cook breakfast, to snowshoeing with a loaded pack, to climbing peaks that rise well over 12,000 feet, traveling in the winter wilderness can be difficult. Instructors and past participants agree that arriving physically fit will enhance everyone’s experience and ability to do well on the course and ultimately allow you to take full advantage of the expedition.

  • APPENDIX A20 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM April 2020 by David Evans and Associates
    APPENDIX A20 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM Environmental Assessment and Section 4(f) Evaluation APPENDIX A20 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM April 2020 By David Evans and Associates INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The I-70 West Vail Pass Auxiliary Lanes project is located in Eagle and Summit Counties, with the eastern terminus just east of the Vail Pass Rest Area and the western terminus in the Town of Vail. The project study limits include eastbound (EB) and westbound (WB) I-70 from mile post (MP) 179.5 to MP 191.5. The project location and approximate study area are shown in Figure 1 . As part of the initial National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis, a Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the I-70 Mountain Corridor (C-470 to Glenwood Springs) was completed in 2011. This EIS, the I-70 Mountain Corridor Programmatic Final Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS), recommended the addition of auxiliary lanes EB and WB on the west side of Vail Pass from MP 180 to MP 190 as part of the Preferred Alternative’s Minimum Program of Improvements. The PEIS also identified the potential for an elevated Advanced Guideway System (AGS) for transit along the I-70 corridor, including the West Vail Pass project corridor. A follow-up AGS Feasibility Study in 2014 analyzed potential alignments and costs for an AGS system and determined there were three feasible alignments for future AGS. While AGS is not part of the West Vail Pass Auxiliary Lanes project, the AGS Feasibility Study was used to ensure the project did not preclude the favored alignment of the three, which would be partially within CDOT right-of-way (ROW).

  • Meeting Record
    BULL MOOSE SPORTSMENS ALLIANCE/COLORADO BACKCOUNTRY HUNTERS AND ANGLERS/COLORADO TROUT UNLIMITED/COLORADO WILDLIFE FEDERATION/NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION/THEODORE ROOSEVELT CONSERVATION PARTNERSHIP/TROUT UNLIMITED/WESTERN NATIVE TROUT INITIATIVE Sportsmen's Recommendations for Supporting the Proposed Colorado Roadless Rule Problem 1: At 562,000 acres, the upper tier category in the preferred alternative is too small and fails to include much of the most important fish and wildlife habitat. Solution: After further upper tier areas are included by the agency for the Pike-San Isabel and Rio Grande national forests, the acreage of upper tier lands in the preferred alternative should increase to a total of at least 1.4 million acres (33% of Colorado's road less acres) using the prioritized list of road less areas below. Upper tier lands bordering Community Protection Zones may be cut back in acreage so the bordering areas are not included in the upper tier (the overlap is roughly 22,000 acres total). All Alternative 2 lands already placed in upper tier should remain there. Rationale: The upper tier category has been created to balance narrowly defined exceptions in the CO rule such as coal mining, ski area development, and community protection zone logging. This is very similar to the "Primitive" and "Wild Land Recreation" categories used to balance development allowances in the Idaho roadless rule. While important, the preferred alternative (alt. 2) acres are limited to areas where forest plans already prohibit road building. Using these acres as upper tier does not address key fish and wildlife habitat nor does it illustrate a commitment by the Forest Service to go beyond their current plans and create a truly protective rule.

  • IV. Motorized Recreation Route Recommendations
    APPENDIX IV COHVCO – TPA –RMEC COMMENTS 6/1/09 IV. Motorized Recreation Route Recommendations The following roads and trails are recommended by COHVCO, in addition to those in the preliminary proposed alternative, and those submitted as a group recommendation in the Colorado 500 letter dated 15 September 2006. These are intended to be a part of an alternative in the DEIS that more fully responds and addresses a historic and enhanced motorized recreation transportation system for all federal lands in the Gunnison Basin. Recommendations 1. Trail 561 Eyrie Basin Trail. An historically used trail by miners and modern day single track motorcyclists. From Italian Creek Road, it drops steeply into Eyrie Creek Basin where it connects to the Taylor Park Road. This trail accesses private land, but has a landowner interested in maintaining public motorized use. 2. Trail 413 Matchless Mountain Trail. An historical use trail that is a single track motorcycle use trail leading from near the top of Matchless Mountain on the west to the west side of Taylor Reservoir where it heads north to a crossing of the Taylor River just above Rivers End Campground. Scenic route from a 12,300 foot peak to the Reservoir’s Edge, and ridden almost exclusively downhill. Access to Trail 413 is off of Trail 424, the Gunnison Spur Trail. It provides challenge for advanced riders in a low use area. 3. Trail 424 Spur Trail Connector. Connects from the Dinner Station Campground to Road 753.1. A historically used motorcycle trail. The route provides a continuity of access to the entire Spur Trail System from the Taylor Park Road.

  • Tom Sharp's Post
    19 Tom Sharp's Post Tom Sharp's Post, a log and adobe Indian trading station, built in 1870, is a familiar sight to those traveling Highway 305, in Huerfano County, between the remnants of Malachite and the top of Pass Creek Pass. The post, flbout a mile from the site of the once-thriving town called Malachite, stands near the Huerfano River crossing of the Gardner-Red Wing. road. Sharp's place was known as Buzzard Roost Ranch be­ cause hundreds of buzzards roosted in the cottonwood trees along the stream there. A well-traveled Ute Indian trail over the Sangre de Cristo range ran through the ranch, thence to Badito, and on to the Greenhorn Mountains. Ute Chief Ouray and his wife, Chipeta, often visited Sharp while their tribes­ men camped nearby. W. T. (Tom) Sharp, a native of Missouri, served with the Confederate forces at the beginning of the Civil War. His general was Sterling Price. In 1861, Sharp was paroled from the service because of wounds, and was placed in a wagon bound for the Far West. Surviving the trip across country, he joined a half-breed Indian hunter named "Old Tex,'' and for a time the two sup­ plied meat to mining camps in California and Oregon . Later Sharp headed eastward. With a partner, John Miller, he contracted to supply telegraph poles for the Union Pacific Railroad, then building into Wyoming. In 1867, he was a de­ puty sheriff in Cheyenne, Wyoming. In the autumn of 1868, Tom Sharp, John White, and John Williams, with an old prairie wagon, came into the Huerfano Valley looking for a location.

  • Aerial Survey Highlights for Colorado 2014
    Aerial Survey Highlights for Colorado 2014 Aerial detection surveys of tree killing or damaging insects and diseases are conducted annually over Colorado’s forest lands. This is a cooperative effort between the US Forest Service and the Colorado State Forest Service. In 2014, 28 million acres were surveyed by 7 trained federal and state surveyors. Highlights of the survey by damage agent are reported below. In 2014, all reported agents are insects that kill and/or defoliate trees. This report includes only forest damage that is visible from the air. Spruce Beetle • Since 1996, spruce beetle has affected approximately 1,397,000 acres to varying degrees in Colorado. • Spruce beetle activity was detected on 485,000 acres in Colorado in 2014. Of these, 253,000 acres are in areas not previously mapped as having spruce beetle activity (new acres). This epidemic continues to expand rapidly (Figures 1, 2). In some areas, the outbreak has moved through entire drainages in the course of one year. In the most heavily impacted drainages, nearly every mature spruce has been killed (Figure 3). • The spruce beetle epidemic is expanding most rapidly in southern Colorado’s Forests and impacts many thousands of acres. Areas affected are found from the La Garita Wilderness Area to north of Cottonwood Pass, the Sangre de Cristo and Wet Mountains, as well as south to the Colorado border and into New Mexico. Aerial survey in south central Colorado showed spruce beetle epidemics expanded on the San Juan (26,000 new acres on 53,000 active acres), Rio Grande (78,000 new acres on 192,000 active acres), Gunnison (54,000 new acres on 79,000 active acres), and San Isabel (26,000 new acres on 31,000 active acres) National Forests.
