  • Continental Divide National Scenic Trail Management Tool: Managing Recreational Uses April 5, 2019
    Continental Divide National Scenic Trail Management Tool: Managing Recreational Uses April 5, 2019 Purpose This document serves as a tool to promote consistent management of recreational uses on the congressionally-designated Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT). This is a living document that will be reviewed annually to determine if updates are needed based on lessons learned from implementation. This document contains: 1. Guiding Principles for managing recreational uses on the CDT, 2. A table of considerations for managing authorized special uses on the CDT (Table 1), and 3. A table to assist line officers when making decisions on whether to allow mechanized use, such as bicycle use, on a newly constructed or relocated CDT segment1 (Table 2). Scope of this Document This document generally applies to CDT segments where mechanized use and/or recreation special uses are not expressly prohibited by law or policy.2 This document does not create new policy, rather, it clarifies CDT management within existing law and policy, and is consistent with the core values outlined in the Forest Service’s National Strategy for a Sustainable Trail System (Trails Strategy).3 Background National Scenic Trails are to be “so located as to provide for maximum outdoor recreation potential and for the conservation and enjoyment of the nationally significant scenic, historic, natural, or cultural qualities of the areas through which such trails may pass” (16 U.S.C. 1242(a)(2)). 4 The CDT’s nature and purposes are “to provide high-quality, scenic and primitive hiking and horseback riding opportunities and to conserve the natural, historic and cultural resources along the CDNST corridor” (2009 CDT Comprehensive Plan).

  • By Keane Southard Program Notes
    An Appalachian Trail Symphony: New England (Symphony No. 1) by Keane Southard Program notes: An Appalachian Trail Symphony: New England (Symphony No. 1) for Orchestra was begun during my hike of the 734-mile New England portion of the Appalachian Trail (June 11, 2016-August 26, 2016) and completed in late March 2017. The symphony was commissioned by a consortium of orchestras throughout New England in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the completion of the trail, which stretches over approximately 2,200 miles from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine. I grew up in central Massachusetts, but a few years before I was born my father was a graduate student at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, through which the Appalachian Trail runs after it crosses the Connecticut River from Vermont into New Hampshire. (I actually composed the majority of the symphony in Hanover, with the AT lying only a few hundred feet away in the woods.) They loved living in New Hampshire, and when my siblings and I were young they took us on so many camping and weekend trips around New Hampshire and Vermont. These trips instilled in me a love of the outdoors and this region as well as made me aware of the AT itself. While we didn't do much hiking on those trips, I was captivated by the idea of one day hiking this legendary trail. When I later started to get serious about composing, I thought it would be wonderful to hike the trail and then write a piece of music about the experience some day.

  • 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.

    This Plan integrates the following: Hazard Mitigation Plan Update (FEMA) Community Wildfire Protection Plan (DRED) January 25, 2016 Final Plan – For Town Adoption Prepared for the Town of Easton and NH Homeland Security & Emergency Management By The Easton Planning Team With assistance from Mapping and Planning Solutions Easton Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2016 “Plans are worthless, but planning is everything. There is a very great distinction because when you are planning for an emergency you must start with this one thing: The very definition of "emergency" is that it is unexpected, therefore it is not going to happen the way you are planning.” -Dwight D. Eisenhower HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN DEFINITIONS ”A natural hazard is a source of harm or difficulty created by a meteorological, environmental, or geological event.” “Hazard mitigation is any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from hazards (44CFR 201.2). Hazard mitigation activities may be implemented prior to, during, or after an event. However, it has been demonstrated that hazard mitigation is most effective when based on an inclusive, comprehensive, long-term plan that is developed before a disaster occurs.” (Source: Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide, FEMA, October 1, 2011) Plan Prepared and Authored By June E.
