    COLORADO PARKS & WILDLIFE Fishing ReportFishing Regulations Friday March 23rd, 2018 Review News and Information CPW accepts check for $29 million grant from U.S. Department of the Interior Colorado Parks and Wildlife Director Bob Broscheid on Tuesday, March 20, accepted a check for $29 million from the U.S. Department of Interior, declaring the funding “critical to CPW’s efforts for wildlife conservation, research, habitat preservation” as well as for supporting hunting and fishing programs. Invasive mussels knocking on Colorado's door prompts Highline Lake to revise boat ramp rules Beginning April 1, Colorado Parks and Wildlife will lock the boat ramp each evening at Highline Lake State Park, or when Aquatic Nuisance Species inspectors are not available. The new rule is in response to the growing threat posed to Colorado's water by the few boaters suspected of illegally launching their watercraft without the required aquatic nuisance species inspection. Anglers can provide input at two CPW 'State of the Fish" meetings in Summit, Grand counties In continuing efforts to engage the public in constructive conversations, Colorado Parks and Wildlife will hold two 'State of the Fish' gatherings in Summit and Grand County later this month. Agency biologists and managers will be available to answer questions about the current status of local fisheries, and future management plans. Go fish! 2018 fishing licenses are available now, valid beginning April 1 Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds anglers that it's time to get ready for another season of fishing. Coloradans and non-resident visitors can purchase a 2018 annual fishing license now either online, at your local CPW office or at any of our hundreds of authorized sales agents statewide.

    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.

  • Camp Hale Story
    Camp Hale Story - Wes Carlson Introduction In 1942, the US Army began the construction of a large Army training facility at Pando, Colorado, located in the Sawatch Range at an elevation of 9,250 feet, between Minturn and Leadville, CO, adjacent to US Highway 24. The training facility became known as Camp Hale and eventually housed over 16,000 soldiers. Camp Hale was chosen as it was to become a training facility for mountain combat troops (later known as the 10th Mountain Division) for the US Army in WWII, and the area was in the mountains similar to what the soldiers might experience in the Alps of Europe. The training facility was constructed on some private land acquired by the US Government, but some of the facilities were on US Forest Service land. Extensive cooperation was required by the US Forest Service throughout the construction and operation of the camp and adjacent facilities. The camp occupied over 5,000 acres and was a city in itself. The Camp Site is located in what is now the White River NF. In 2012, at the US Forest Service National Retiree’s Reunion, a tour of the Camp Hale area was arranged. When the group who had signed up for the tour arrived at the office location where the tour was to start, it was announced that we would not be able to go to the Camp Hale site due to logistical issues with the transportation. One retiree, who had signed up for the tour, was very unhappy, and announced that if we couldn’t go to Camp Hale he would like to return to the hotel in Vail.

  • Camp Hale Origins
    Camp Hale Camp Hale was created to train US soldiers to fight in the mountains during World War II. The camp was built in the Pando Valley near Leadville in 1942. There, troops of the Tenth Mountain Division learned to ski, snowshoe and climb. They used their training to fight in the Apennine Mountains in Italy in 1945. After the war, soldiers who trained at the camp helped build ski areas in Colorado. Camp Hale is now part of the White River National Forest. Origins In 1942 the United States was involved in World War II. The US Army created Camp Hale to train soldiers to fight in the mountains during winter. The army built its training camp near Leadville. It was a good place for the camp. It could house 15,000 troops. It had a high elevation and was near 12,000-foot mountains. The Eagle River provided water. A highway and a railroad provided transportation. 10th Mountain Division Training for WWII at Camp Hale. It was named Camp Hale for Brigadier General Irving Hale, who was from Denver. The camp used 1,457 acres of the Pando Valley. To build the camp, the army had to move the Eagle River and a highway. Training the Tenth Mountain Division The troops of the Tenth Mountain Division arrived at Camp Hale by January 1943. Soon the camp had more than 1,000 buildings and about 15,000 men. Camp Hale was enormous. It had barracks, a hospital, stables, a veterinary center and a field house. It had parade grounds, recreation areas, and gun and combat ranges.

The Valles Caldera Preserve Management Act would repeal the Valles Caldera Preservation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-248) abolish the Valles Caldera Trust, terminate the Preserve’s inclusion in the National Forest System and turn over administration of the land to the National Park Service (NPS). This legislation gives us the opportunity to assess the long term management of the Preserve. The Department supports the protection of the nationally significant natural and cultural resources found at the Valles Caldera National Preserve and have worked with the Trust to accomplish these goals over the past several years. We would like to work with the committee to determine the management structure that will provide the best level of protection and care for the unique resources that are found within the Valles Caldera. Given the historical and ecological importance of these lands and the work that is required to restore them, there are various jurisdictional options for the long-term management of the Valles Caldera National Preserve that could be considered.

  • The Enemy in Colorado: German Prisoners of War, 1943-46
    The Enemy in Colorado: German Prisoners of War, 1943-46 BY ALLEN W. PASCHAL On 7 December 1941 , the day that would "live in infamy," the United States became directly involved in World War II. Many events and deeds, heroic or not, have been preserved as historic reminders of that presence in the world conflict. The imprisonment of American sol­ diers captured in combat was a postwar curiosity to many Americans. Their survival, living conditions, and treatment by the Germans became major considerations in intensive and highly publicized investigations. However, the issue of German prisoners of war (POWs) interned within the United States has been consistently overlooked. The internment centers for the POWs were located throughout the United States, with different criteria determining the locations of the camps. The first camps were extensions of large military bases where security was more easily accomplished. When the German prisoners proved to be more docile than originally believed, the camps were moved to new locations . The need for laborers most specifically dic­ tated the locations of the camps. The manpower that was available for needs other than the armed forces and the war industries was insuffi­ cient, and Colorado, in particular, had a large agricultural industry that desperately needed workers. German prisoners filled this void. There were forty-eight POW camps in Colorado between 1943 and 1946.1 Three of these were major base camps, capable of handling large numbers of prisoners. The remaining forty-five were agricultural or other work-related camps . The major base camps in Colorado were at Colorado Springs, Trinidad, and Greeley.
