The Headwaters Trails Committee, created this same year pursuant to C.R.S. 33-11-106, developed a Purpose for the future development of trails within Grand County. Along with this Purpose a number of Goals and Objectives were produced to guide future trails decisions. Grand County began work on the Headwaters Trails Master Plan in 1994. This plan was developed through the Purpose, Goals, and Objectives set forth by the Headwaters Trails Committee. A portion of the impetus for the plan was local concern about the closing of trails due to development. The Grand County Planning and Zoning Department began meeting with town governments, local chambers of commerce, municipal recreation districts, the United States Forest Service (USFS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP), and local trail groups to receive input on the project. These meetings transformed the plan considerably. An open meeting was announced and held with the Grand County Board of Commissioners on October 25, 1994 to present the modified draft to the public. The final draft of the Headwaters Trails Master Plan was presented to the Grand County Planning Commission on January 11, 1995. The Headwaters Trails Committee was chosen to play the role of administrator of the Headwaters Trails Master Plan. In recognition of the need of a county-wide trails organization, Headwaters Trails Alliance was established as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation in 1996. The organization was formed through the efforts of Fraser Valley Partnership for Trails and Grand Lake Partners for Trails with the support of the Grand County Board of Commissioners, the Grand County Planning Commission, and the individuals and groups who served on the Headwaters Trails Committee. Once formed, Headwaters Trails Alliance (HTA) assumed the role of administrator of the Master Trails Plan. 1 HEADWATERS TRAILS ALLIANCE Master Trails Plan OVERVIEW The stated Mission of the plan was: “to create a Headwaters Trail System to provide multi-use recreational trails” with Goals of: • Improving area trails • Protecting trail connectivity in response to private development • Guiding trail system expansion The original plan had a heavy focus on paved and aggregate-surfaced trails that connected the County’s municipalities and created similar connections to Jackson and Summit Counties. Changing economic factors, goals, and trail design, construction, and management techniques require a renewed focus on natural surface trails in this plan revision, but the essential Mission and Goals remain the same- a standard-bearing, multi-use trail system that helps improve the quality of life in Grand County by providing high quality recreation, protecting natural resources, and creating the infrastructure for local economic development that is based on trail-related tourism and development. This revision of the Grand County Trail Master Plan seeks to conform with and support existing County and municipal planning documentation. Recently, Grand County has published a County Master Plan , and municipalities have developed planning documents, including a Town of Fraser Downtown Revitalization and Comprehensive Plan, and a Town of Winter Park /Fraser Trail Plan. The Kremmling Office of the BLM is finalizing its Resource Management Plan. The Forest Service has finished travel planning for motorized recreation and roads, resulting in a published Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) and is currently working under the guidance of a Land & Resource Management Plan (LRMP) approved in 1997. 2 HEADWATERS TRAILS ALLIANCE Master Trails Plan OVERVIEW AREA DESCRIPTION Grand County, Colorado is located in the north-central portion of the state. The County’s land is largely in public ownership (nearly 75%). The largest manager of lands is the United States Forest Service (Arapaho- Roosevelt National Forest, Sulphur Ranger District, with some areas in cooperative management with the Routt National Forest) and secondarily by the US Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management (CO BLM, Kremmling Field Office) and National Park Service (Rocky Mountain National Park). State-owned land is managed by the Colorado State Board of Land Commissioners and Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Incorporated municipalities within the County are located in the central valleys of the Fraser and Colorado Rivers, and include Kremmling, Hot Sulphur Springs, Grand Lake, Granby, Fraser, and Winter Park. Notable unincorporated areas include Tabernash, Parshall, and Radium. The County population is currently near 15,000 residents. The topography of the County is dominated by mountain ranges, including the Front Range, Gore Range, Indian Peaks, Rabbit Ears Range, Never Summer Mountains, Vasquez Mountains, and Williams Fork Mountains. Much of the backcountry in these areas is designated for Wilderness Protection, and includes the Indian Peaks Wilderness, Byers Peak Wilderness, Vasquez Peak Wilderness, Never Summer Wilderness, Rocky Mountain Wilderness, and Sarvis Creek Wilderness. Closer to populated areas, a number of special management areas exist, including the James Peak Special Interest and Protection Areas, Bowen Gulch Protection Area, Arapaho National Recreation Area, and Fraser Experimental Forest. Along with the headwaters and tributaries of the iconic Colorado River and Colorado’s largest natural lake, Grand Lake, the County has an impressive number of large reservoirs, including Wolford Mountain Reservoir, Lake Granby and Shadow Mountain Lake (Arapaho National Recreation Area), Williams Fork Reservoir, Green Mountain Reservoir, Willow Creek Reservoir, and Windy Gap Reservoir. 3 HEADWATERS TRAILS ALLIANCE Master Trails Plan OVERVIEW A number of large, privately-managed, recreation-focused parcels exist in the County. Winter Park Ski Resort (on USFS land), Ski Granby Ranch, Devil’s Thumb Ranch, and the YMCA’s Snow Mountain Ranch all provide year-round, trail-based recreation opportunities on a total of more than 15,000 acres of land. Other relatively large-acreage private ranches also depend on tourism and trail related activities for their financial livelihood. A number of nationally notable trails are located in Grand County, including the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and Trail Ridge/Beaver Meadows Road (Rocky Mountain National Park) and Colorado River Headwaters Byways. Locally, the Fraser River and Fraser-Granby Trails provide non-motorized connectivity between Winter Park and Fraser and Granby. The USFS manages more than 200 miles of designated trails outside of Wilderness Areas. The BLM manages more than 50 miles of trails within the County, and the National Park Service manages approximately 40 miles of trails within the Grand County borders. 4 HEADWATERS TRAILS ALLIANCE Master Trails Plan EXISTING PLANS & DATA The Mission of Headwaters Trails Alliance is: to identify, maintain, and expand an accessible, interconnecting trail system in Grand County for appropriate multi-user groups. Overarching Goals and Objectives: Physical Leadership [County, Town and Land Management Agency Partnership] • Provide technical direction, expertise, and support to municipalities, agencies, and private property

    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.

  • Appendix C - Roadless Areas
    Appendix C - Roadless Areas Purpose The purpose of this appendix is to describe roadless areas and the analysis factors used in evaluating individual roadless areas on the Routt National Forest. It includes a description of the physical and biological features, primitive recreation and education opportunities, resources, and present management situation for each area. Background Roadless Area Review and Evaluation In 1970, the Forest Service studied all administratively designated primitive areas and inventoried and reviewed all roadless areas in the National Forest System greater than 5,000 acres. This study was known as the Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE). RARE was halted in 1972 due to legal challenge. RARE identified 711,043 acres of roadless area on the Routt National Forest. In 1977, the Forest Service began another nation-wide Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE II) to identify roadless and undeveloped areas within the National Forest System that were suitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Twenty nine areas, totalling 566,756 acres, were inventoried on the Routt National Forest (including the Middle Park Ranger District of the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest). As a result of RARE II, four areas on the forest - Williams Fork, St. Louis Peak, Service Creek, and Davis Peak - were administratively designated as Further Planning Areas (FPA). This further planning area designation meant that more information was needed before the Forest Service would recommend any of these areas to Congress for wilderness designation. In January 1979, the Forest Service issued nationally a Final Environmental Impact Statement documenting a review of 62 million acres of roadless and undeveloped areas within the 191-million-acre National Forest System.
