Spanish Peaks Wilderness
Mt. Bierstadt Field Trip Trip date: 6/17/2006 Ralph Swain, USFS R2 Wilderness Program Manager Observations: 1). The parking lot was nearly full (approximately 35 + vehicles) at 8:00 am on a Saturday morning. I observed better-than-average compliance with the dog on leash regulation. Perhaps this was due to my Forest Service truck being at the entrance to the parking lot and the two green Forest Service trucks (Dan and Tom) in the lot! 2). District Ranger Dan Lovato informed us of the District’s intent to only allow 40 vehicles in the lower parking lot. Additional vehicles will have to drive to the upper parking lot. This was new information for me and I’m currently checking in with Steve Priest of the South Platte Ranger District to learn more about the parking situation at Mt. Bierstadt. 3). I observed users of all types and abilities hiking the 14er. Some runners, 14 parties with dogs (of which 10 were in compliance with the dog-leash regulation), and a new- born baby being carried to the top by mom and dad (that’s a first for me)! Management Issues: 1). Capacity issue: I counted 107 people on the hike, including our group of 14 people. The main issue for Mt. Bierstadt, being a 14er hike in a congressionally designated wilderness, is a social issue of how many people are appropriate? Thinking back to Dr. Cordell’s opening Forum discuss on demographic trends and the growth coming to the west, including front-range Denver, the use on Mt. -

Box 471 • Boulder, Colorado 80306 • www.bouldercounty.org BOULDER COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION May 15, 2013 – 3:00 pm Hearing Room, Third Floor Boulder County Courthouse Staff: Abigail Shannon, AICP DC-13-0001 Various Policy Clarifications and “Clean-Up” Amendments Text amendments to Articles 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 13, and 17 to correct and clarify miscellaneous provisions within the Boulder County Land Use Code related to: advertising requirements for BCCP public hearings, eligibility of floodplain variances, clarification in the Kennel use classification, clarification in the Vehicle Service Center use classification, applicability of SPR in the Rural Community Districts, reinstating the Airport regulations, clarification to boundary line adjustment criteria, correcting references to Community Uses in the Sign regulations, and correcting the name of Boulder County Public Health throughout the Code. Public testimony will be taken – Action requested SUMMARY The Land Use Code is a living document. While some amendments are large in scope (such as the recently completed Agricultural amendments), other amendments are more discrete. County staff, members of the public, and decision makers will occasionally identify areas in the Code that are ripe for amendment but not in need of urgent change. We like to package these possible changes into one docket in order to achieve a higher level of efficiency in reviewing and approving these proposals. IDENTIFIED AMENDMENTS Staff has identified nine topics which could be included in an upcoming clarification and “clean-up” docket. Italicized words indicate Land Use Code language – if words are stricken, staff is proposing to delete these words from the Code; if words are underlined, it means staff is proposing to add these words to the Code. -
Mining Camps: Myth Vs
Mining Camps: Myth vs. Reality BY DUANE ALLAN SMITH Hidden in the vastness of the Rocky Mountains survive skeletal remains of what once were live, restless mining camps. People lived, worked, played, and died in some as early as 1859 and in others even later than the turn of the century. Mark Twain, in his delightful book Roughing It, has left a vigorous account of what life was like then. Although the topic of his examination, Virginia City, Nevada, was slightly west of the Rocky Mountains, the description he gave holds true for all camps going through "flush times." Virginia had grown to be the "livest" town, for its age and population, that America had ever produced. The sidewalks swarmed with people.... The streets themselves were just as crowded with quartz wagons, freight teams and other vehicles. The procession was endless .... Joy sat on every countenance, and there was a glad, almost fierce intensity in every eye, that told of the money-getting schemes that were seething in every brain and the high hope that held sway in every heart.1 Money was plentiful, Twain noted, and every individual considered himself potentially a mining nabob. Street fights, wide-open gambling palaces, saloons, theaters, and hurdy-gurdy houses enlivened the scene, and there was even "some talk of building a church." These were people busily engaged in that most popular of all American vocations, making a fortune, but they were also participating in the joy of spending it with relish. Life here had the quality of a frontier adventure alloyed with the gambling excitement of mining. -
