  • PCA) Report Name Colorado River Site Code S.USCOHP*15679
    Level 4 Potential Conservation Area (PCA) Report Name Colorado River Site Code S.USCOHP*15679 IDENTIFIERS Site ID 1328 Site Class PCA Site Alias Colorado River Megasite Network of Conservation Areas (NCA) NCA Site ID NCA Site Code NCA Site Name - No Data County Garfield (CO) Grand (UT) Mesa (CO) SITE DESCRIPTION Site Description This site includes the stretch of the Colorado River that extends from Rifle to the Utah border. The Colorado River riparian corridor is the most heavily developed area in Mesa County. The floodplains near the river were historically dominated by stands of Rio Grande cottonwood (Populus deltoides ssp. wislizeni) with an understory of skunkbrush (Rhus trilobata). However, development of the floodplain, agriculture, and most notably, the invasion of non-native species such as tamarisk ( Tamarix ramosissima), Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia), and Russian knapweed (Acroptilon repens) have greatly reduced the amount of native riparian vegetation within this site. Extensive gravel mining operations in the river floodplain up and downstream of the City of Rifle has included the removal of cottonwood gallery forests and commensurate riparian and stream values that these forests provide. Along the immediate banks of the river and around wetlands in the floodplain, coyote willow (Salix exigua), cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli), reedcanary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), common reed (Phragmites australis), cattail (Typha latifolia), hardstem bulrush (Schoenoplectus acutus), threesquare bulrush (S. pungens), alkali bulrush (S. maritimus), and redroot flatsedge (Cyperus erythrorhizos) are typically dominant. This site provides critically important habitat for endangered fish such as the razorback sucker ( Xyrauchen texanus), Colorado pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus lucius), and humpback chub (Gila cypha).

  • Tonto Trail: Boucher Trail to South Bass Trail
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Grand Canyon Grand Canyon National Park Arizona Tonto Trail: Boucher Trail to South Bass Trail As canyon hikers gain experience many seek to broaden their wilderness horizons and inevitably thoughts turn to the Tonto Trail west from Boucher Creek to the South Bass Trail. This segment of the Tonto Trail is notorious, regarded by canyon experts as the most difficult and potentially dangerous section of this long transcanyon trail system. Main reason: It is almost 30 rough, unmaintained miles from the permanent water in Boucher Creek to the South Bass trailhead, and throughout that entire stretch there are no reliable water sources near the Tonto Platform level. None. Another thing: Once started, hikers are committed. The complete lack of bail-out routes to the rim between Boucher and South Bass means the only possibility for help is at the end of the trek. Combine these factors with the usual selection of Tonto Trail hazards (such as narrow, eroding trails, numerous passages near the brink of sizable cliffs, and a notable lack of shade) and it all adds up to a serious undertaking.

    RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND RECORD OF DECISION FOR THE COLORADO CANYONS NATIONAL CONSERVATION AREA AND BLACK RIDGE CANYONS WILDERNESS U.S. Department of the Interior BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT Grand Junction Field Office Grand Junction, Colorado September 2004 MISSION STATEMENT It is the mission of the Bureau of Land Management to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nation’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. United States Department of the Interior BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT Grand Junction Field Office 2815 H Road Grand Junction, CO 81506 In Reply Refer To: 8014 (CO-134) Colorado Canyons NCA RMP Dear Reader: Attached you will find the Colorado Canyons National Conservation Area (CCNCA) Resource Management Plan and Record of Decision (RMP/ROD). The CCNCA encompasses approximately 122,300 rugged and scenic acres of public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Mesa County, west of Grand Junction, Colorado. The CCNCA RMP/ROD describes the management prescriptions developed for the long-range protection of the Colorado Canyons National Conservation Area and the Black Ridge Canyons Wilderness. The CCNCA RMP/ROD was developed through a collaborative effort between the BLM and a ten-member Advisory Council, four citizen-based working groups, and representatives from a wide variety of user groups. Thank you to all who helped make this planning process a success. To all of you who enjoy the wide variety of opportunities available on these outstanding public lands, we look forward to working with you in the future as we continue our efforts to protect and enhance the Colorado Canyons National Conservation Area.

  • Colorado River Miles Chart
    FOREWORD This river mile index for the Lower Colorado River lists river mileages that were determined from measurements made on Bureau of Reclamation aerial orthophotographs and U.S. Geological Survey topographic quadrangles. The Geological Survey and Bureau of Reclamation furnished information on stream gage locations, drainage areas and water surface elevation. River mile distances were measured upstream to the nearest tenth of a mile. The starting point for the Lower Colorado River mile index is at the southerly international boundary with Mexico. In cases where tributary washes did not have a well defined channel from the Colorado River to where they met the valley floor, the starting point was located at a latitude and longitude where the channel was well defined. Tributaries are shown as entering from the right or left from a position facing downstream. Elevation of water surface is shown at the average elevations in impoundments. The discharge pattern of the Colorado River between Davis Dam and Imperial Dam is influenced by daily power demands and seasonal irrigation and municipal and industrial requirements. The water surface elevations shown for this reach represent typical daily highs occurring during the summer period. This index was prepared by the Boulder Canyon Operations Office, Lower Colorado Region, Bureau of Reclamation.
