  • The Mount Evans Project by Mo Ewing, Conps Conservation Committee Chairperson

    The Mount Evans Project by Mo Ewing, Conps Conservation Committee Chairperson

    The Mount Evans Project By Mo Ewing, CoNPS Conservation Committee Chairperson From his collecting visits in the 1950s, to an article he wrote in Aquilegia in August 1991, to the present day, Bill Weber has been a champion for Summit Lake on Mount Evans. In 1965 Bill nominated Summit Lake for designation as a National Natural Landmark because it was considered to be one of the finest examples of alpine tundra in the lower 48 states. For the last couple of years, Bill has urged CoNPS to take over his role as the champion of Mount Evans, expressing a particular concern regarding the presence of non-native mountain goats which the Colorado Department of Wildlife introduced to the area in the 1960s. Last January a group of volunteers met with Bill and Ron Wittmann to consider taking on Mount Evans as a long-term conservation project for our Society. Very quickly we realized that Ron and Bill were the only two people locally who knew much about Mount Evans and Summit Lake. Over the years Bill had brought many internationally renowned botanists to the lake to view its wonders, but otherwise very few people from our area were familiar with the plants and plant communities there. In 1924 the City and County of Denver purchased 160 acres around the lake creating Summit Lake Park and adding it to its Mountain Parks system. So in March some CoNPS volunteers met with Bob Finch, the Director of Natural Resources for Denver Parks and Recreation to discuss how we could work together to preserve Summit Lake.

  • Spanish Peaks Wilderness

    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.

    Crestone Peak … and a Self Rescue!

    Crestone Peak … and a Self Rescue! Exposure: Summit Elev.: 14,294 feet Trailhead Elev.: 9,900 feet Elevation Gain: 5,700 feet starting at upper 4wd trailhead 3850 feet starting at S. Colony Lake camp Roundtrip: 14 miles starting at upper 4wd TH (9,900) 5 miles from S. Colony Lake camp Climbers: Rick Crandall, Rick Peckham 8/15/2015 Crestone Peak, or “The Peak” as known among many climbers, is one of the “double-black diamond” 14ers for climbers. It is located in the Sangre de Cristo range near to the town of Crestone. It and its companion fourteener, Crestone Needle were the last of all the fourteeners to be scaled back in the 1920’s. This remote and rugged mountain was once thought impossible to climb. The name comes from the famous “crete du coq” (cocks comb) on the Italian side of the Matterhorn which was anglicized to Crestone. (From Fourteen Thousand Feet, by John L. Jerome Hart, June, 1925) The easiest route is not the shortest or most direct. 800 feet of elevation must be lost and regained over Broken Hand Pass, which is a 1500’ climb from the South Colony Lake, and then another 2,000 feet must be climbed up the sustained Red Couloir to the summit approach. All climbing is rated at least Class 3. Considerable climbing experience is recommended before attempting this formidable mountain. Crestone Peak – a magnificent mountain. We had plenty of warnings about this mountain, including from Mountain Rescue as you see in the unfolding story. “Crestone Peak is one of the more dangerous fourteener climbs in Colorado; accidents occur often in the Crestones, some caused by falls and others by lightning (a daily summer occurrence in the Sangre de Cristos).” From Summit Post: Adding to the difficulty of the climb is getting there.
