Cielo Vista Ranch Costilla County, Colorado M.Ailing: 3794-C Highway Cielo Vista Ranch Costilla County, Colorado 254-897-7872 M.ailing: 3794-C Highway 67 West Glen Rose, Texas 76043 Welcome to Cielo Vista Ranch. We are happy to share with you the experience of seeing the world from the top of Culebra Peak. Please help us to maintain the mountain in its current undisturbed condition. The Colorado Fourteeners Initiative has made several suggestions that will ensure that the mountain remains beautiful for future generations to enjoy. We recommend that either the Ridge Route or the Roach Route be used for your assent and the Talus Route be used for your descent. Thank you for your cooperation. Please be safe and have an enjoyable day.

Unlike any other Fourteener in Colorado, hiking impacts are largely absent - Culebra is essentially "untrailed". In order to preserve its pristine condition, please follow these climbing guidelines: 1. Plan ahead and Prepare. A dehydrated climber scurrying down the mountain to escape a storm is likely to cause unnecessary damage to fragile alpine tundra. 2. Disperse while hiking. In order to protect sensitive alpine plant communities, avoid hiking single file,, or along existing trampled routes. 3. Ascend ,nd descend on a different route in order to minimize impacts to the mountain. 4. W}Jile"-hik,ing, try to step only on durable surfaces, such as rocks, in order to protect sensitive alpine plant communities. Don't walk along the edge of melting snowfields or other areas where the sqils are wet. Many alpine soils are over 5,000 years old, and alpine plants grow very slowly in the<harsh climate and short growing season on F ourteeners. 5. Refrain from feeding animals or picking wildflowers. Leave what you find. 6. Bury all human waste below treeline, not in the tundra. Human waste above treeline requires hundreds of years to decompose. Pack out all the waste you carry in. Refer to the "Guide for Leaving No Trace on Colorado's Highest Peak" for additional information. • - LRC Landscape FHturH (~ Names) £ s_p t:::J La_Sierra_SGundary (Approx. t 9.144 aeres) 12 La Cucaracha, 21 de Agosto New Mexicans vs. U.S. Forest Service Land Struggle Gro~s at OjO Caliente ) A meeting for the rightful Later, on Sept.11, 1793, the . planned at that time as well, heirs to over 38,000 acres of grant was approved the King Garcia said.

  • Private Property at 14,000 Feet by Brendan Leonard © 2007 Mountain
    Private property at 14,000 feet By Brendan Leonard © 2007 Mountain Gazette When Maury Reiber bought the Present Help silver mine at the top of 14,286-foot Mount Lincoln in the '50s, not that many people were interested in climbing 14,000-foot peaks in Colorado. We weren't suing the crap out of each other, either. In the past 20 years, though, bagging Colorado's 58 14ers has become a popular hobby, drawing about 500,000 hikers a year to at least one summit attempt. We've also discovered that we can sue McDonald's for making us fat, or when we accidentally spill scalding coffee on our crotch. "I think the view from the top of Mount Lincoln is one of the most beautiful in the state of Colorado," Reiber says. "I don't want to deny that to anybody." But in 2005, his lawyer advised him that with the amount of people hiking on his property, a lawsuit was a definite possibility. Reiber and a couple of other owners of mining property on Mounts Lincoln, Democrat, Cameron and Bross – collectively known as the "Decalibron" to peak-baggers who traverse the 7.5-mile ridgeline route that connects the peaks – decided to close the property to the public, effectively saving them from liability for injuries caused if a hiker were to wander off the trail and fall down one of who-knows-how-many mine shafts and tunnels that pock the mountains. "There's holes up there I don't even know about," Reiber says. Climbers who stay on the trail are fine, but the one percent of those who don't present a lawsuit waiting to happen, so Reiber and the other owners "closed" the mountains in June 2005.
