    Statement of Dan Gibbs Executive Director Colorado Department Of

    Statement of Dan Gibbs Executive Director Colorado Department of Natural Resources Before The Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands of The House Natural Resources Committee April 2, 2019 Chairwoman Haaland, Ranking Member Young, and Members of the Subcommittee: On behalf of Governor Polis and the State of Colorado, we appreciate the opportunity to provide testimony on the Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy Act (H.R. 823). We strongly support the CORE Act and hope Congress will move swiftly to enact it. Governor Polis would have liked to be here today with his former colleagues to express his strong support for this legislation. As you know, as a member of Congress, Governor Polis had sponsored the Continental Divide Recreation, Wilderness and Camp Hale Legacy Act, which has now been incorporated into the broader CORE Act. Introduction This legislation—the product of years of collaboration among elected officials, businesses, community members, and a myriad of other interested and affected stakeholders across Colorado—would protect some of the most beloved public lands in Colorado for their unsurpassed recreation, scenery, wildlife, watersheds, historic, and other unique values. As the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, I support this bill because it will benefit our wildlife by protecting critical habitat and migration corridors; it will protect the outstanding recreational experiences that bring people from across Colorado—and the world—to these special places; it will help safeguard Colorado’s water resources by protecting key watersheds and all water rights; it strikes the right balance by protecting key public lands from development, while protecting all existing mineral rights and leaving other appropriate lands available for mining, oil, and gas development; and because it complements the values and opportunities associated with our state lands.

    Segment 25 of the Colorado Trail Starts at Little Molas Lake. Hikers

    ! COLORADO TRAIL (SECTION NORTHWEST OF LITTLE MOLAS LAKE), SILVERTON, COLORADO Segment 25 of the Colorado Trail starts at Little Molas Lake. Hikers (and mountain bikers) can also do day-trips on this part of the trail by starting from the Little Molas Lake parking area and heading northwest. The first part of this section of the Colorado Trail passes beneath Sultan Mountain and the Grand Turk. The views from this trail are spectacular, although the wildflowers aren't quite as nice as they were on the other two hikes we did in this area after this one (Coal Bank Pass and Snowdon Meadows). We had hoped to continue further along the trail than we did, but we were not yet aware how early in the afternoon thunderstorms can appear in this area (and the trail goes along an exposed ridge). ! ! Driving by the Hermosa Cliffs on our way north along the San Juan Skyway from Durango. ! " Engineer Mountain is visible for some distance on this drive. ! " This is the southwestern part of the ridge by Coal Bank Pass. ! " ! ! ! ! ! ! Looking southeast at what I think must be North Twilight Peak. Crater Lake should be in the small valley just to the left of the peak. ! " Looking north towards the North Lime Creek valley, which is just west of Sultan Mountain and the Grand Turk (which are two peaks visible in all three of my July 2017 trip reports from this area). ! " Looking north again, towards Molas Pass (right of center). ! " Looking northeast, with Snowdon Peak to the left in this photo (I am not sure what the peaks to the right of center and which are just barely visible in the background are called).

It was prepared as part of the Bureau of Land Management's Cultural Resource Manage- ment Program and is the second complete history of a BLM district in Colorado. A major objective of the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior, is the identification, evaluation and protection of the nation's historic heritage and values, particularly those under the management of the Bureau. The history of Southwestern Colorado is designed to provide a baseline narrative for Cultural Resource Management. Paul M. O'Rourke has written a new history of the southwest corner of Colorado and in doing so, has provided a timely and original view of Colorado's heritage and history. This study will become part of the over-all history of Colorado as prepared by the Bureau and as other volumes dealing with Colorado history are written, they too will be made available to the general public.

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 1968 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.
