Littleton, CO 80125 Dear Mr. Jacobs: I am writing to convey the U.S. Forest Service’s support for the North Mt. Elbert Trail Maintenance and R estoration Project proposal submitted by the National Forest Foundation. This proposed project is located on and managed by the Leadville Ranger District of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests, Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands. For four years, the Forest Service has worked closely with the National Forest Foundation, as well as key implementation partners including the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative and Rocky Mountain Youth Corps to complete work on the South Elbert Trail. This project has helped to restore and m aintain the ecological and recreational value of Colorado’s highest mountain. The work on South Elbert was made possible because of generous support from the Colorado State Trails Program. This year, we started work on the North Mt. Elbert Trail. Now, we are working closely with the same set of partners to begin the final phase of the project to complete essential maintenance work on the North Elbert trail. We are pleased to be part of these successful collaborative projects. Together, we are engaging in shared stewardship of Colorado’s highest peak – a truly unique and treasured resource. Thank you for your time and attention to this proposal.

    Talk 8 at State Episode 8: Getting Outside with Abby Hepp Transcript Eliza Barsanti: Welcome to the department of Health and Exercise Studies’ Talk 8 at State Podcast with your host, Eliza Barsanti! EB: A couple weeks into the Fall 2020 semester, Covid-19 precautions caused NC State to put all classes online. This switch caused a lot of change in the lives of NC State students, forcing them to step out of their typical day-to-day routines in favor of something different. Abby Hepp ‘23 took this as an opportunity to go on the adventure of a lifetime-hiking, camping, and climbing her way across the United States! Today, we sit down with her to talk about her cross-country road trip, along with advice and NC State resources that students can use to get outside and craft their own adventures. EB: Okay, so today we are sitting down with Abby Hepp. Abby, would you like to introduce yourself to the podcast? Abby Hepp: Hi my name is Abby Hepp, I am majoring in Communication Media at NC State and I'm currently a sophomore. EB: Awesome! So we're going to get right into it! Today we're going to be talking about some of your adventures that you've been going on in the past few years and using to inspire other people as well, so let's start with- how did you become involved in outdoor activities and adventuring initially? AH: First of all, thank you for having me and initially will growing up, I would say my family was moderately active and you know I kind of had the typical playing outside with the neighbors childhood.

    Denudation History and Internal Structure of the Front Range and Wet Mountains, Colorado, Based on Apatite-Fission-Track Thermoc

    NEW MEXICO BUREAU OF GEOLOGY & MINERAL RESOURCES, BULLETIN 160, 2004 41 Denudation history and internal structure of the Front Range and Wet Mountains, Colorado, based on apatite­fission­track thermochronology 1 2 1Department of Earth and Environmental Science, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801Shari A. Kelley and Charles E. Chapin 2New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801 Abstract An apatite fission­track (AFT) partial annealing zone (PAZ) that developed during Late Cretaceous time provides a structural datum for addressing questions concerning the timing and magnitude of denudation, as well as the structural style of Laramide deformation, in the Front Range and Wet Mountains of Colorado. AFT cooling ages are also used to estimate the magnitude and sense of dis­ placement across faults and to differentiate between exhumation and fault­generated topography. AFT ages at low elevationX along the eastern margin of the southern Front Range between Golden and Colorado Springs are from 100 to 270 Ma, and the mean track lengths are short (10–12.5 µm). Old AFT ages (> 100 Ma) are also found along the western margin of the Front Range along the Elkhorn thrust fault. In contrast AFT ages of 45–75 Ma and relatively long mean track lengths (12.5–14 µm) are common in the interior of the range. The AFT ages generally decrease across northwest­trending faults toward the center of the range. The base of a fossil PAZ, which separates AFT cooling ages of 45– 70 Ma at low elevations from AFT ages > 100 Ma at higher elevations, is exposed on the south side of Pikes Peak, on Mt.

  • Spanish Peaks Wilderness

    Spanish Peaks Wilderness

    Mt. Bierstadt Field Trip Trip date: 6/17/2006 Ralph Swain, USFS R2 Wilderness Program Manager Observations: 1). The parking lot was nearly full (approximately 35 + vehicles) at 8:00 am on a Saturday morning. I observed better-than-average compliance with the dog on leash regulation. Perhaps this was due to my Forest Service truck being at the entrance to the parking lot and the two green Forest Service trucks (Dan and Tom) in the lot! 2). District Ranger Dan Lovato informed us of the District’s intent to only allow 40 vehicles in the lower parking lot. Additional vehicles will have to drive to the upper parking lot. This was new information for me and I’m currently checking in with Steve Priest of the South Platte Ranger District to learn more about the parking situation at Mt. Bierstadt. 3). I observed users of all types and abilities hiking the 14er. Some runners, 14 parties with dogs (of which 10 were in compliance with the dog-leash regulation), and a new- born baby being carried to the top by mom and dad (that’s a first for me)! Management Issues: 1). Capacity issue: I counted 107 people on the hike, including our group of 14 people. The main issue for Mt. Bierstadt, being a 14er hike in a congressionally designated wilderness, is a social issue of how many people are appropriate? Thinking back to Dr. Cordell’s opening Forum discuss on demographic trends and the growth coming to the west, including front-range Denver, the use on Mt.

    Top Of The Rockies National Scenic & Historic Byway Section Six: Interpretive Sites 6-27 INTERPRETIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN INTERPRETIVE SITES Climax Mine Interpretive Site Introduction This section contains information on: • The current status of interpretive sites. • The relative value of interpretive sites with respect to interpreting the TOR topics. • The relative priority of implementing the recommendations outlined. (Note: Some highly valuable sites may be designated “Low Priority” because they are in good condition and there are few improvements to make.) • Site-specific topics and recommendations. In the detailed descriptions that follow, each site’s role in the Byway Interpretive Management Plan is reflected through the assignment of an interpretive quality value [(L)ow, (M)edium, (H) igh], an interpretive development priority [(L)ow, (M)edium, (H)igh], and a recommended designation (Gateway, Station, Stop, Site). Interpretive value assesses the importance, uniqueness and quality of a site’s interpretive resources. For example, the Hayden Ranch has high value as a site to interpret ranching while Camp Hale has high value as a site to interpret military history. Interpretive priority refers to the relative ranking of the site on the Byway’s to do list. High priority sites will generally be addressed ahead of low priority sites.

    5B Part Two- MAY

    Pike National Historic Trail Association Newsletter May-B 2016 Vol. 10 No. 5B Part Two- MAY Celebrating 210 Years- The Santa Fe Trail Association (SFTA) celebrated the Bicentennial of Pike’s 1806-7 Southwest Expedition 10 years ago. One can use our website- zebulonpike.org to recall the many activities conducted during 2006. The Pike National Historic Trail Association became the child of the SFTA. It was formed by John Patrick Michael Murphy and our current President. SFTA donated its website and many of its leaders including Dr. Leo Oliva and Dr. Clive Siegle volunteered. Others from the Bicentennial Committee quickly joined the effort including Zebulon Montgomery Pike, Dorothy Urban, and Mike Bandera with Dr. Rev. Roy Escott Pike, Erwin Young, Patrick Surrena, Tom Rollings and Rex Rideout. Bicentennial Liberty Bell & Daffodil Pike’s Damn’d Rascals- 4 John Brown BOTH expeditions. Went with Pike, Robinson and Miller to climb Pikes Peak Tried for desertion August 2, 1809, at New Orleans. He had deserted Lt. Wilkinson at Fort Adams November 21, 1807, and had been absent until June 6, 1809, when he surrendered to Maj. Amos Stoddard at Natchitoches. His sentence of corporal punishment was remitted because of voluntary surrender. Brown lived in the Cold Water district of St. Louis County, Missouri, for 42 years. When he died at the age of 86 his obituary appeared in the Missouri Republican, August 21, 1840. He is believed to be the oldest rascal. January 24, 1807 Saturday- Pikes Journal … he [Brown] exclaimed, “that it was more than human nature could bear, to march three days without sustenance, through snows three feet deep, and carry burdens only fit for horses” &c.&c.” “Brown, you this day presumed to make use of language which was seditious and mutinous, … I will pardon, but be assured, should it ever be repeated, by instant death, I will revenge your ingratitude and punish your disobedience.” This was one of a very few instances where Pike had to discipline.
