Some in the Colorado conservation community call Holy Cross Wilderness, the "water wilderness," which is apt given the inumerable streams and creeks, and the lakes flanked by mountain peaks. All this water makes for great fishing and tons of wildflowers. The peaks are a humble gray, speckled by pockets of snow and green vegetation. 4 Route Description Overview From Savage Lakes Trailhead, hike to Savage Lakes, Carter Lake, Henderson Park and finally Josephine Lake, where you can hike to the summit above Josephine Lake. Exit along Tellurium Lake Trail to Henderson Park Trailhead. If you do not have two vehicles either have a pair of adults shuttle the vehicle, on foot, or do an out-and- back to Josephine Lake from Last Chance Creek Trailhead. This out-and-back route is both easier (with less elevation gain) and a couple miles shorter. Details Follow Savage Lakes Trail to Savage Lakes for lunch (or for the night if you plan to base camp at Henderson Park). Camp at Carter Lake, following Henderson Park Trail downhill for about two hours from Savage Lakes. If you camp at Savage Lakes and Carter Lake, do a dayhike up Carter Creek drainage, and take advantage of the great fishing in Carter Lake. From Carter Lake, follow Henderson Park Trail to Henderson Park, then take Tellurium Lake Trail to Coffepot Park, and Josephine Lake Trail to Josephine Lake. Setup the summit day base camp at Hen- derson Park or anywhere along the way to Josephine Lake. On summit day, hike to the peak above Josephine Lake, labeled Savage. The hike out from Henderson Park to Henderson Park Trailhead only takes a couple hours, so plan accordingly.

The views are worth the extra effort. This is Savage Lake. Refer to trail map for corresponding locations. 11 Area History These trails travel through national forest and a wilderness area, both public lands, owned by the federal U.S. government and pro- tected from private commerical development, but for different pur- poses. The initial and continued mission of the National Forest Ser- vice, established in 1905 (within the Department of Agriculture), is: "...the greatest good of the greatest number of people in the long run.” Focused on conservation, timber and mineral deposits are managed in a manner similar to agriculture or farmed crops. Wilderness Areas were established with preservation in mind. The Congressional Wilderness Act of 1964 was approved to “secure for the American people of present and future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of wilderness.” As such, Wilderness desig- nation protects the area from roads, logging, oil and gas drilling, and any commercial enterprises. In part, to retain the quiet, motorized and mechanical vehicles and motorized equipment are not allowed. Local Environment The Rocky Mountain Range runs along fault lines where, 70 million years ago, collisions between tectonic plates resulted in uplift of the earth's crust. At the time, Coloardo was covered by an ancient sea. Subsequent erosion, due to streams and glaciers, of the mostly granite rock created the valleys and rugged peaks of the Rocky Mountains. The last large earthquake in this region was in 1882. Another is expected in several hundred years. Fun Fact: Frogs are disappearing from the area due to an amphibian chytrid fungus that is killing them. Researchers suspect that tiger salamanders, resistant to the fungus, are spreading it. 12 Daily Outline Recommendations • Expedition Preparation and Planning • Meet at BCM Office • Issue Individual Gear Day • Pre-trip teen surveys CRMS 1 • Duffle Shuffle • Issue BCM Group Gear • Camp at CRMS Lunch at Savage Lakes.

  • 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.

  • Our Valley—Our Heritage Preserving Hardscrabble Ranch in Brush Creek Valley
    Case Statement for Our Valley—Our Heritage Preserving Hardscrabble Ranch in Brush Creek Valley Eagle Valley Land Trust Prepared by: Robin Thompson June and July 2017 All photos courtesy of Ed Roberson, Mirr Ranch Group | Hearing and Acting on the Call of the Wild If you listen closely you can hear the sound of each step you take, the swish of grass as you walk through it and in the distance, a babbling brook. There are people who live in inner cities who don’t know what that sounds like. Here in the mountains of Colorado, we are in a very unique area where we have that available to us every time we walk out our front door. That is right now. If we don’t act now, it may not be there for our future or our children or grandchildren. Fortunately there is a way that you can help protect this incredible resource today for future generations. And you will be in the company of several other respected organizations, leaders, and concerned citizens. Listen: “We have a unique opportunity to protect this outstanding place, in fact, we believe this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Eagle County encourages your careful consideration and support for The Conservation Fund’s Protect Initiative application!” Board of County Commissioners Jill H. Ryan Kathy Chandler-Henry Jeanne McQueeney Chair Commissioner Commissioner “The Town has fought to preserve this property for more than 30 years, spending thousands of hours working to mitigate development proposals that had been submitted by the previous property owner. The Town is very excited that an opportunity to protect this beautiful property in perpetuity has finally come to fruition.” Town of Eagle Anne McKibbin Mayor “This campaign is about is being part of something bigger than any single one of us.
