Continental Divide Wilderness and Recreation Continental Divide Wilderness and Recreation Act Updated August 27, 2015 Table of Contents Introduction ........................................................................................................ 1 Support List ........................................................................................................ 3 Letters of Support ............................................................................................... 5 Select Media Clips, Editorials and Op Eds .......................................................... 18 -John Fielder (Hoosier Ridge Proposed Wilderness) Introduction The backcountry near Colorado’s Continental Divide features vibrant vistas and unique recreational experiences that drive the local economies of Summit and Eagle counties. Representative Jared Polis has introduced the Continental Divide Wilderness and Recreation Act to protect the natural beauty, outdoor recreation, historic resources, and wildlife habitats of Summit and eastern Eagle counties. The Act would create 40,000 acres of new wilderness areas in -John Fielder (Proposed Tenmile Wilderness the Williams Fork Mountains, Tenmile Range, and Hoosier Ridge and would expand the existing Holy Cross, Eagles Nest, and Ptarmigan Peak wilderness areas. The bill also would enhance outdoor recreation opportunities such as fishing, hunting, biking, and backcountry snow sports. For example, it would establish an 11,500-acre Recreation Management Area along the Tenmile Range to provide world-class mountain biking, hiking, and wildlife watching. This plan was drafted through an open, collaborative process that not only maintains existing recreational uses, but also incorporates community values by accounting for future improvements. 1 2 Continental Divide Wilderness and Recreation Act Support List Businesses Columbine Bakery - Avon Arapahoe Basin Ski Resort Haute Route Gear and Apparel - Avon Alpine Accents - Frisco Skea Ltd. - Vail Frisco Liquors Inc. - Frisco Bloomingvails - Vail Summit Travel - Frisco Gorsuch Ltd. - Vail Anew You - Frisco Ptarmigan Sports - Edwards Moose Jaw Restaurant - Frisco Crazy Mountain Brewery - Edwards Frisco Wine Merchant - Frisco Minick Construction - Edwards House of Signs, Inc. - Frisco Vail Valley Anglers - Edwards Deli Belly’s - Frisco Riverwalk Natural Health Clinic and Pharmacy - Edwards Frisco Fun and Formal - Frisco Mary Lynn Gillaspie Photography - Louisville Smokn’ Bra - Frisco Nina’s Flowers - Louisville Little Beans Boutique - Frisco Ville de Luxe Boutique - Louisville The Jumping Tree - Frisco The Walnut Gallery - Louisville Abbey’s Coffee - Frisco By Chance Shoppe - Louisville Funky Truck - Frisco Gifts at Cooper’s Corner - Louisville Todd Powell Photography - Frisco Found Underground Consignments - Louisville Frisco Lodge - Frisco Gifted Hands Gallery - Louisville Log Cabin Cafe - Frisco Little Horse Books and Vintage - Louisville Dillon Dam Brewery - Dillon The Book Cellar - Louisville Art Supply Breck - Breckenridge SoFlo Glass LLC. - Boulder Boutique Bling - Breckenridge Faith Davis Massage and Yoga - Boulder Timeless Collections - Breckenridge Trident Booksellers and Cafe - Boulder b’s Modern Mountain Apothecary - Breckenridge Nomad Bead Merchants - Boulder Bella Design and Planning - Breckenridge Two Hands Paperie - Boulder Breckenridge Bead Gallery - Breckenridge Rocky Mountain Anglers - Boulder Big City Blues Clothing - Breckenridge Bedell and Co. - Boulder Flourish - Breckenridge Colorado Ocean Coalition - Boulder Vertical Runner - Breckenridge Justins LLC. - Boulder Slopestyle - Breckenridge Ripstop Repairs - Boulder The Mountain Goat Clothing Company - Breckenridge Spork and Ladle, LLC. - Boulder 3 Eco-Products - Boulder Organizations: Vail Resorts - Broomfield Access Fund Xcel Energy - Denver Backcountry Hunters & Anglers Powder7.com - Golden Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center Vision Ridge Partners - Boulder Conservation Alliance High Country Dogs - Silverthorne Conservation Colorado Boulder Cycle Sport - Boulder High Country Conservation Center Grappa - Vail International Mountain Bicycling Association West Vail Liquors - Vail League of Conservation Voters Gorsuch Ltd - Vail Outdoor Industry Association Wilderness Sports - Dillon People for Bikes Backpacker’s Pantry - Boulder ProgressNow Breckenridge Outfitters - Breckenridge Public Land Solutions Mountain Angler - Breckenridge Summit Fat Tire Society RINO Bike & Snow Repair - Denver The Wilderness Society Alpine Mountain Recreation - Breckenridge Vail Valley Mountain Bike Association Vail Valley Anglers - Vail Vet Voice Foundation Fishpond USA - Silverthorne Wilderness Workshop Flyfisher Outfitters - Avon Baloons Over Vail - Vail Government(s): Ground Works - Vail Town of Breckenridge Lionshead Liquors - Vail Colorado Springs Utilities Los Amigos Restaurant - Vail Eagle County Paragon Guides -Vail Town of Vail Russell's Restaurant - Vail Summit County Wendy Griffith Phototag - Vail West Vail Liquor Mart - Vail Sonnenalp Real Estate - Vail Women’s Empowerment Workshop - Susie Kincaid 4 Letters of Support 5 The Honorable Jared Polis 1433 Longworth House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Representative Polis: The undersigned businesses, organizations, and community leaders support your efforts to protect Colorado’s Central Mountains. From pristine watersheds to world-class hiking and mountain biking, we need to sustain this landscape that is so important to our local economies, the success of our businesses, and the well-being of our employees and communities. Outdoor recreation in Colorado annually generates $13.2 billion in consumer spending, supports 125,000 jobs, and pays $4.2 billion in direct wages and salaries. In Summit and Eagle Counties, recreation generates $1.5 billion in spending. Your proposal to protect key areas for their stunning scenery, sensitive wildlife, critical watershed values, and many recreational opportunities will promote this vital part of our economy. As business owners, we recognize that wilderness areas conserve our watersheds, wildlife habitats, and scenic vistas, while offering exceptional hiking, fishing, snowshoeing, climbing, skiing, hunting, and other recreation opportunities. Protecting these natural assets will help Colorado remain a place where people want to live and where businesses thrive. Conservation efforts in Colorado ensure a long-term sustainable customer base for our state’s economy. We look forward to supporting your efforts to protect Colorado’s Central Mountains.

    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.

  • COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by Vol
    The State Historical Society of Colorado THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by Vol. XXXIX Denver, Colorado, October, 1962 Number 4 Gold Boats on The Swan The Story of Ben Stanley Revett, Gold Dredger By Belle Turnbull* At the time that the material for use in writing about Revett was first examined, a number of papers were kept for reference. Of other papers, notes were made and the papers returned to Mrs. Melissa Hayden. At the time, since the objective was to use the notes for background in a story, notes were made sometimes without much attention to dates and sources, though they were kept in chronological order by year, only. For color and background the author is deeply indebted to the following, not one of whom is still living in 1962: George Robinson, dredgemaster, and later County Treasurer of Summit County and Mayor of Breckenridge; Mrs. Melissa Hayden, widow of Revett's secre­ tary, and herself Clerk of the District Court for many years; and George Robert Johnson, mining engineer, who permitted my presence on a gold dredge against the wishes of his swing shift crew, to whom a woman on board was anathema. Mr. Johnson's explanations of the operation of a gold dredge were lucid and helpful, even to a woman author. Thanks are also due to Gordon Goodridge, who dug in the Summit County records for data on placer grounds.-Author. In the history of deep mining for gold in Colorado, Ben Stanley Revett ranks as First Gold Dredger. Not only was he the first to carry through the financing, the building, and the management of the first dredge in Colorado to dig for gold; his resourcefulness and bulldog tenacity drove him on, year after year, to finish what he had begun: to find the best possible method of driving to bedrock and to bring up the gold.

  • The Rockies of Colorado
    THE ROCKIES OF COLORADO THE ROCKIES OF COLORADO BY EVELIO ECHEVARRfA C. (Three illustrations: nos. 9- II) OLORADO has always been proud of its mountains and rightly so; it is often referred to in the Union as 'the mountain state', about 6o per cent of its area is mountainous, and contains fifty-four peaks over 14,ooo ft. and some three hundred over 13,000 ft. Further, its mountaineering history has some unique aspects. And yet, Colorado's mountains have been seldom mentioned in mountaineering journals; if in modern times they may have deserved a passing mention it has been because of a new route on Long's Peak. But on the whole, the Rockies of Colorado are almost unrecorded in the mountaineering world abroad. In this paper, an effort has been made to outline briefly the characteris­ tics of this area, and to review its mountaineering past; a few personal experiences are also added. The mountains of Colorado belong almost completely to the Rocky Mountain range of North America; a few outliers are sometimes mentioned as independent lesser chains, but in features and heights they are unimportant. The Rockies of Colorado are grouped into a number of ranges (see sketch-map), some of which are actually prolongations of others. Some­ what loosely and with some injustice to precise geography, they can be grouped into ten important sections. The state of Colorado is a perfect rectangle in shape; the Rockies enter into its western third from Wyoming, to the north, and split, then, into two parallel chains which unite in the centre of the state.

    Fremont Pass Rec Pathway Figure 1. Project Location and Vicinity 2 Fremont Pass Rec Pathway Purpose and Need The purpose of the proposed project is to improve the safety of cyclists traveling along State Highway (SH) 91 in Tenmile Canyon. Currently, cyclists travelling south from Copper Mountain toward Fremont Pass must ride on SH 91 through Tenmile Canyon. This situation presents safety concerns for cyclists and drivers through this approximately 3.3-mile segment of highway as it has limited shoulder widths, tight curves, high speeds, and short line of sight distances. In addition, there is a need to provide additional multi-use pathways in Summit County, Colorado. Not only does Summit County aim to accomplish its objectives to maintain, enhance, connect, and expand the recreation pathway system, the Tenmile Canyon corridor south of Copper Mountain has been identified as a high priority pathway in Governor Hickenlooper’s “Colorado the Beautiful: Colorado’s 16” trails initiative. The recreation pathway system in Summit County continues to experience increased demand and utilization. The proposed project would complement the current recreation pathway in Summit County by offering an extension of this system with the proposed pathway towards Fremont Pass. In addition to benefiting cyclists, the multi-modal pathway will allow walkers, runners, and other non-motorized recreational users to access this section of Tenmile Canyon. Description of the Proposed Action Construction of the new recreation pathway would be on National Forest system lands managed by the USFS. The proposed pathway alignment would use the existing, abandoned railroad grade in Tenmile Canyon. This alignment is on the east side of both Tenmile Creek and SH 91.

  • Southern Rockies Lynx Linkage Areas
    Southern Rockies Lynx Amendment Appendix D - Southern Rockies Lynx Linkage Areas The goal of linkage areas is to ensure population viability through population connectivity. Linkage areas are areas of movement opportunities. They exist on the landscape and can be maintained or lost by management activities or developments. They are not “corridors” which imply only travel routes, they are broad areas of habitat where animals can find food, shelter and security. The LCAS defines Linkage areas as: “Habitat that provides landscape connectivity between blocks of habitat. Linkage areas occur both within and between geographic areas, where blocks of lynx habitat are separated by intervening areas of non-habitat such as basins, valleys, agricultural lands, or where lynx habitat naturally narrows between blocks. Connectivity provided by linkage areas can be degraded or severed by human infrastructure such as high-use highways, subdivisions or other developments. (LCAS Revised definition, Oct. 2001). Alpine tundra, open valleys, shrubland communities and dry southern and western exposures naturally fragment lynx habitat within the subalpine and montane forests of the Southern Rocky Mountains. Because of the southerly latitude, spruce-fir, lodgepole pine, and mixed aspen-conifer forests constituting lynx habitat are typically found in elevational bands along the flanks of mountain ranges, or on the summits of broad, high plateaus. In those circumstances where large landforms are more isolated, they still typically occur within 40 km (24 miles) of other suitable habitat (Ruggerio et al. 2000). This distribution maintains the potential for lynx movement from one patch to another through non-forest environments. Because of the fragmented nature of the landscape, there are inherently important natural topographic features and vegetation communities that link these fragmented forested landscapes of primary habitat together, providing for dispersal movements and interchange among individuals and subpopulations of lynx occupying these forested landscapes.
