He made a map for Canadian explorer David Buy DVDs On Line Thompson, who followed one year later. Jacco left the North West Company and became one of the first “Freemen” or “Otipemisiwak” in the Athabasca Valley. In 1907 the Canadian Government passed an Order in Council for the creation of the “Jasper Forest Park”—enforcing the evacuation of the Métis in the Athabasca Valley. By 1909 guns were seized causing the community to surrender its homeland--including Jacco’s descendants. Six Métis families made their exodus after inhabiting the area for a century.

Susan and I travelled into Willmore Wilderness Park on a cold bleak winter’s day, for four days of trapping, filming and writing. We had a few hick-ups getting out of Grande Cache, but were glad when our snow mobile and sled started moving down the trail. It was getting dark when we passed Davey Creek and headed across the upper meadow. A storm was brewing and it wasn’t being kind to us. We both huddled for protection in the blizzard conditions.

  • Continental Divide National Scenic Trail Management Tool: Managing Recreational Uses April 5, 2019
    Continental Divide National Scenic Trail Management Tool: Managing Recreational Uses April 5, 2019 Purpose This document serves as a tool to promote consistent management of recreational uses on the congressionally-designated Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT). This is a living document that will be reviewed annually to determine if updates are needed based on lessons learned from implementation. This document contains: 1. Guiding Principles for managing recreational uses on the CDT, 2. A table of considerations for managing authorized special uses on the CDT (Table 1), and 3. A table to assist line officers when making decisions on whether to allow mechanized use, such as bicycle use, on a newly constructed or relocated CDT segment1 (Table 2). Scope of this Document This document generally applies to CDT segments where mechanized use and/or recreation special uses are not expressly prohibited by law or policy.2 This document does not create new policy, rather, it clarifies CDT management within existing law and policy, and is consistent with the core values outlined in the Forest Service’s National Strategy for a Sustainable Trail System (Trails Strategy).3 Background National Scenic Trails are to be “so located as to provide for maximum outdoor recreation potential and for the conservation and enjoyment of the nationally significant scenic, historic, natural, or cultural qualities of the areas through which such trails may pass” (16 U.S.C. 1242(a)(2)). 4 The CDT’s nature and purposes are “to provide high-quality, scenic and primitive hiking and horseback riding opportunities and to conserve the natural, historic and cultural resources along the CDNST corridor” (2009 CDT Comprehensive Plan).

  • COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail
    CONTINENTAL DIVIDE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL DAY & OVERNIGHT HIKES: COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail THE CENTENNIAL STATE The Colorado Rockies are the quintessential CDT experience! The CDT traverses 800 miles of these majestic and challenging peaks dotted with abandoned homesteads and ghost towns, and crosses the ancestral lands of the Ute, Eastern Shoshone, and Cheyenne peoples. The CDT winds through some of Colorado’s most incredible landscapes: the spectacular alpine tundra of the South San Juan, Weminuche, and La Garita Wildernesses where the CDT remains at or above 11,000 feet for nearly 70 miles; remnants of the late 1800’s ghost town of Hancock that served the Alpine Tunnel; the awe-inspiring Collegiate Peaks near Leadville, the highest incorporated city in America; geologic oddities like The Window, Knife Edge, and Devil’s Thumb; the towering 14,270 foot Grays Peak – the highest point on the CDT; Rocky Mountain National Park with its rugged snow-capped skyline; the remote Never Summer Wilderness; and the broad valleys and numerous glacial lakes and cirques of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. You might also encounter moose, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, marmots, and pika on the CDT in Colorado. In this guide, you’ll find Colorado’s best day and overnight hikes on the CDT, organized south to north. ELEVATION: The average elevation of the CDT in Colorado is 10,978 ft, and all of the hikes listed in this guide begin at elevations above 8,000 ft. Remember to bring plenty of water, sun protection, and extra food, and know that a hike at elevation will likely be more challenging than the same distance hike at sea level.

  • Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDNST) Madison Ranger District Section
    Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDNST) Madison Ranger District Section Managed Use(s): Hike, horse and mountain bike Difficulty: Easy to moderate with some steep sections. Trail Length: (see narrative below) Attractions and Considerations The Continental Divide Trail on the Madison Ranger District starts just off State Hwy 87, at the jct. with the Antelope Basin Road #230, about one mile north of Raynolds Pass. Hikers will follow road #230 for about a mile and then junction with Trail #352, the Continental Divide Trail, at the top of the rise overlooking Antelope Basin. Trail #352 was constructed in 1990. It is a single track trail, 2 miles long, passing through grasslands, open stands of Douglas fir, and aspen. In places, grass has grown over the constructed tread, so keep alert for blazes and CDT assurance markers on trees to stay the course. This route closely follows the actual Continental Divide, dipping in and out of the Montana/Idaho border. Terrific vistas of the Madison and Centennial Ranges come into view along this relatively easy hike. In the spring there is an abundance of wildflowers, and beginning in September, fall colors adorn the aspen and willow thickets to evidence the changing seasons and provide a prelude to winter. At the end of the trail portion of this route, hikers will encounter the 056 road, which follows the divide, winding seven miles through the Henry's Lake Mountains, to Red Rock Pass. Road 056 is a fairly low standard jeep road which does not receive a lot of vehicle traffic outside of the fall hunting season.
