    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.

  • Ralph Nevy to His Wife Erminia
    A letter from Ralph Nevy to his wife Erminia Colorado 1915 by Joan Lander July 26, 2016 Another priceless gem has recently surfaced in the Nevy family — a letter Nonno (Ralph Nevy) sent to Nonnie (Erminia Nevy) back in 1915 from Leadville, Colorado. Nonnie was staying in Denver at the time. They had just been married in Pennsylvania in January of that year. Family stories say they decided to leave the Nevy brothers’ store in Vintondale and strike out for new horizons. They both worked in Denver, but Nonno had gone on to Leadville seeking new job possibilities. Christine Albetta gave a copy of this letter to Janet Orsinger McIntyre, who gave it to Barbara Orsinger Adolfson’s daughter Kristin to share with all of the Nevy family. This letter was written over a hunded years ago! The envelope says “Leadville Colorado, the top of the world. Souvenir folder.” So it may have contained some postcards of the area. The stamp on the envelope says U.S. postage - 1 cent. There’s also a picture on the front of the envelope showing Mount Elbert. This is one of the mountain peaks that Carol Lander climbed a couple years ago. The letter has revealed some connections and opened new questions. Read on! The flap says: From: Ralph Nevy Leadville, Colo Here is the body of the letter from Ralph to Erminia. Sandra Nevy did the English translation. She wasn’t able to make out all the words that Nonno wrote, but here is her best guess. (Sandra says this could also be translated as “I have arrived in Leadville.”) Ralph’s letter is addressed to Mrs.

  • Colorado Byways Strategic Plan 2017
    Strategic Plan for the Colorado Scenic and Historic Byways Commission It is with great pleasure and pride that the Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway Commissioners present our Strategic Plan to support the next three years of the program’s vision. The Colorado Scenic and Historic Byways program isn’t just a list of roads connecting one place to another. The 26 Byways have been carefully selected by the Commissioners to awe, instruct, delight, inform, physically challenge, soothe, and bolster the physical and spiritual health of the thousands of travelers who traverse Colorado’s chosen trails. There isn’t one formula that defines a Colorado Byway, but when you are driving, cycling, or walking on one of these routes you feel a “wow” factor that can’t be denied. Whether you are an outdoor recreationist, history buff, nature lover, tourist, or conservationist, you will recog- nize the work of devoted locals who share their bounty with you through resource stewardship. And that devotion is paid back to the local businesses, non-profits, and local citizens through renewed pride in their resources, community coalescence, and economic development. For the immediate future, the Commissioners want to chart innovative ways to support and guide Colorado’s Scenic and Historic Byways. Please join us in celebrating past accomplish- ments and envisioning new journeys.

    Fremont Pass Rec Pathway Figure 1. Project Location and Vicinity 2 Fremont Pass Rec Pathway Purpose and Need The purpose of the proposed project is to improve the safety of cyclists traveling along State Highway (SH) 91 in Tenmile Canyon. Currently, cyclists travelling south from Copper Mountain toward Fremont Pass must ride on SH 91 through Tenmile Canyon. This situation presents safety concerns for cyclists and drivers through this approximately 3.3-mile segment of highway as it has limited shoulder widths, tight curves, high speeds, and short line of sight distances. In addition, there is a need to provide additional multi-use pathways in Summit County, Colorado. Not only does Summit County aim to accomplish its objectives to maintain, enhance, connect, and expand the recreation pathway system, the Tenmile Canyon corridor south of Copper Mountain has been identified as a high priority pathway in Governor Hickenlooper’s “Colorado the Beautiful: Colorado’s 16” trails initiative. The recreation pathway system in Summit County continues to experience increased demand and utilization. The proposed project would complement the current recreation pathway in Summit County by offering an extension of this system with the proposed pathway towards Fremont Pass. In addition to benefiting cyclists, the multi-modal pathway will allow walkers, runners, and other non-motorized recreational users to access this section of Tenmile Canyon. Description of the Proposed Action Construction of the new recreation pathway would be on National Forest system lands managed by the USFS. The proposed pathway alignment would use the existing, abandoned railroad grade in Tenmile Canyon. This alignment is on the east side of both Tenmile Creek and SH 91.

  • Design Narrative
    Fremont Recpath Summit County Extension Design Narrative Section 1 Project Description 1 Fremont Recpath Summit County Extension Design Narrative 1.0 Introduction The Fremont Recreational Pathway (Fremont Recpath or Path) is a collaborative effort of Summit and Lake Counties, Colorado (Counties), and the Climax Molybdenum Company (Climax, and collectively the Parties), to explore a potential regional, multi- modal, separated recreational Pathway alignment connecting the pathway systems of the two Counties and passing through properties on Fremont Pass owned and mined by Climax. Through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) executed on May 15, 2014 (Appendix 1), the Counties and Climax expressed the mutual concern for the safety of cyclists and motorists sharing the roadway over Fremont Pass, and recognized the importance of the development of a separated regional recreational Pathway for multi- modal use as an important quality of life, safety enhancement, economic development, and community partnering opportunity. This Design Narrative is intended to: identify the design criteria that guided layout of Pathway alignments on the ground; identify the types of topographic, geologic, and hydrologic constraints encountered along the alignments; establish preferred and alternative routes; and to reference planning assumptions made in the field as they relate to anticipated engineering solutions that would allow for pathway construction of the Summit County Extension of the Fremont Recpath. 1.1 General Location: Fremont Recpath The conceptual alignment of the proposed Fremont Recpath is illustrated on Map 1. As depicted, the alignment would roughly parallel State Highway 91 over Fremont Pass, connecting the Mineral Belt Trail in Lake County to the Tenmile Canyon Recpath at Copper Mountain in Summit County.

  • Design Narrative
    Fremont Recpath Summit County Extension Design Narrative Section 5 Alternatives 62 Fremont Recpath Summit County Extension Design Narrative 5.0 Summit County Extension: Alternatives The Summit County Extension: Design Narrative describes the action alternatives for connecting the Tenmile Canyon Recpath at Copper Mountain to the terminus of the Climax segment of the pathway at the northern boundary of the Climax property, as well as alternative routes explored in the field that were reviewed but not advanced for further study due to environmental, physical, or budgetary constraints, or reviewed but not considered to be feasible or constructible. 5.1 Alternative 1: No Action Under the No Action Alternative, no development of a separated Pathway or expansion of the roadway surface to better accommodate bicycle travel would be pursued over Fremont Pass. The Bicycle Level of Service would remain extremely low, and the local, regional, and statewide goals for improved intermodal connectivity of the Summit and Lake County Bicycle Pathway Systems would remain unsatisfied. Photo Plate 50 Existing condition Lack of shoulder width to accommodate safe shared use of the road surface 63 Fremont Recpath Summit County Extension Design Narrative 5.2 Action Alternative 2: Historic Rail Grade Alignment (Preferred Alternative) Preliminary pathway layout considerations have prioritized following an alignment that overlays the historic route of the Highline Extension of the Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad. 5.2.1 Historic Context: DSP&P Highline Extension Map 4 Historic Rail Lines: Fremont Pass The preferred alignment for the Summit County Extension of the Fremont Recpath follows the rail bed of the historic High Line Extension of the Denver South Park and Pacific Railroad (DSP&P).
