  • The Mystery of Lake San Cristobal: a Natural Lake No More?
    Reflections: The mystery of Lake San Cristobal: A natural lake no more? By: Lyn Lampert and Camille Richard, Chair and Coordinator, respectively, of the Lake Fork Watershed Stakeholders, Lake City, CO, July, 2008. Like a captivating Agatha Christie novel, Lake San Cristobal is a beautiful mystery. The more one learns about this centerpiece of Hinsdale County, the more unanswered questions one finds. Somehow, it is uniquely refreshing, though, in this age of quantification and precise explanation, to find something that defies complete understanding and description. Lake San Cristobal is one such place, whose manifold mysteries only add to its enchanting allure. The first written record of the glories of this body of water was compiled by a small Army expedition doing the “Reconnaissance of the Ute Country” in 1873. This expedition, led by Lt. E. H. Ruffner, produced the first accurate descriptions of many parts of the San Juan for the outside world. The expedition approached the lake from upstream after doing work in the Baker’s Park (now Silverton) district. As beautiful as the lake is today, it must have been an incredible gem in 1873, without roads, power lines or habitation. Indeed, Ruffner’s description speaks in glowing terms, praising its islands and coves and abundance of ducks and coots. The origin of its name remains a mystery. “San Cristobal” is obviously Spanish in derivation, and many Latin American places are named for Saint Christopher. Saint Christopher was a semi-mythical character from the 3rd century, and today is popularly known as the Patron Saint of Travelers. Frank Hall in his authoritative 1895 “History of Colorado” claims the name of ‘Lake Chrystobal’ was given by US engineer corps staff encamped at the lake during the Ute Country reconnaissance, inspired by a poem of Tennyson.

  • 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.

N. Sharp and R. A. Martin, U.S. Geological Survey and M. E. Lane, U.S. Bureau of Mines Studies Related To Wilderness Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Powderhorn Wilderness Study Area and the contiguous Cannibal Plateau Roadless Area (OZZ18), Gunnison National Forest, Gunnison and Hinsdale Counties, Colo. The Powderhorn was established as a wilderness study area by Public Law 94-579, October 21, 1976, and the Cannibal Plateau Roadless Area was classified as a further planning area during the Second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE HD by the Forest Service, January, 197 9.

Zung University of Kansas, Department of Geography Active landslides are evident throughout Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF), and northwestern Wyoming has one of the highest landslide densities in the country (Case, 1990 and Fallon, 1996). Land use changes and increased demands for infrastructure challenge BTNF to better understand landslide processes in order to make informed land management decisions. Landscape properties related to landslide occurrence were studied via field work and laboratory analysis on 18 landslides in Camp Davis quadrangle. Landslide activity level was characterized based on geomorphic features. Landslide soil characteristics including texture, shrink-swell potential, clay mineralogy and horizonation were studied. The results show that landslides are catastrophic to soil formation. Additionally, these results support the hypothesis that landslide occurrence here is related to geology.
