    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.

  • Section Six: Interpretive Sites Top of the Rockies National Scenic & Historic Byway INTERPRETIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN Copper Mountain to Leadville
    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.

    STATEMENT OF JOEL HOLTROP DEPUTY CHIEF, NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEMS U.S. FOREST SERVICE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BEFORE THE UNITED STATES SENATE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE ON NATIONAL PARKS May 11, 2011 CONCERNING S.564 (Valles Caldera), S.765 (Oregon Caves), S.508 (Chimney Rock), and S.279 (Camp Hale) Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Burr, and members of the Subcommittee: Thank you for the opportunity to provide the Administration’s views on S.564 (Valles Caldera), S.765 (Oregon Caves), S.508 (Chimney Rock), and S.279 (Camp Hale) S.564 Valles Caldera I am pleased to testify today on S. 564 regarding the long-term management of the Valles Caldera National Preserve, one of the Nation’s preeminent scenic and natural areas. 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.
