The Rollins Pass Road is an unpaved, rough road, which was once used as a trail for moving cattle from Middle Park (Grand County) into the Front Range. This road is also the former roadbed of the Denver and Salt Lake Railway, which was abandoned when the Moffat Tunnel was opened. The road is only open to the Needle’s Eye Tunnel on the Grand County side. The east side of the road must be accessed from the junction of Highway 19 and Colorado FR 16 in Rollinsville. The road is not plowed during the winter months and is used by snowmobilers for recreation. In a letter dated April 27, 1923, Albert E. Straub, Jr., Acting Forest Supervisor for the Arapaho National Forest, writes to Forest Officers and includes an outline of a book of historical data about the Forest. The following was taken from that source1: “The James Peak trail (Coronia Pass [sic]) used by the early settlers of this country to drive their beef cattle out to market at the time of the gold excitement at Central City and Idaho Springs in the early Fifties (1850’s), and during the Summer of 1916 the Forest Service adopted this same trail from timber-line down on this side for the present sheep driveway. Henry Lehman, who died during the summer of 1915, drove thousands of head of cattle over the above mentioned trail.” In the book, Island of the Rockies, Robert Black writes that the Rollinsville and Middle Park Wagon Road was the “scheme of John Quincy Adams Rollins. Rollins (1816-1894) was the son of a clergyman, the second of nineteen children. He was a man of many aspects – farmer, miner, freighter, builder of roads, and platter of towns2.” Along the route there are some interpretative posts with guide numbers. Many of the signs are now missing. It is important to set starting mileage at 0.0 at the entrance (County Road 80 & US Highway 40). Additional information about the Rollins Pass Auto Tour is available on the internet, but also at the Winter Park Visitor’s Center. Photo by author Signpost #27 is 3.9 miles from the beginning and is the location of the Town of Arrow or Arrowhead as it was originally called. Arrow, at 9,585 feet, “became the first incorporated town in Grand County in December 1904. At one time 2,000 construction camp workers received their mail here.” The town had several restaurants, a general store, a livery stable, boardinghouses, gambling and sporting houses, and a jail. 3 Today there is nothing left of the town of Arrow and it has been re-vegetated. 1 Letter and copy of the outline provided by Paul Gilbert of Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado 2 Black, Robert C.

  • COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail
    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.

In the past, we have produced this article in the spring, leaving a gaps with no information from the late spring and summer seasons. TAR is now publishing this roundup in the fall issue, in hopes of providing a more complete summary of avalanche center information. There are two additional Avalanche Centers in the NAC network: UAC/Bear River Avalanche Center-Logan and the Tahoe National Forest Avalanche Center. Their season summaries were unavailable at press time. Forest Service National Avalanche Center Those of us in the FS National Avalanche Center like to think of ourselves as the little center with the big name. The NAC has two employees, Karl Birkeland in Bozeman, Montana and Doug Abromeit in Ketchum, Idaho. The NAC, among other things, provides program guidance and support to local FS avalanche centers, facilitates technology transfer to FS field units, coordinates the FS national avalanche awareness program and manages the FS military artillery program. The past year was a good one. The NAC started the season by hosting the annual fall meeting for US avalanche centers. We held the meeting in Snowbasin, Utah and devoted one day to the nuts and bolts business of running an avalanche center and a second day to cutting edge avalanche technology including several excellent scientific presentations.

    MP 245 – 246: Floral Park The mile between mileage post 250 and 251 may be one of the best example of how complicated the “widening project” for U. S. Highway 40 was in terms of environmental issues and requirements by both the State and Federal government. To meet these requirements: a stream was moved and a wildlife crossing was added along with a new “wetland”. This mile also includes the location of an old campground, a ski run, and where U. S. Highway 40 crosses over the wagon road. Route Mile Marker X Y Longitude Latitude 1U. S.

  • USFS Region 2 Offices 740 Simms Golden CO RE: Rollins Pass Road Followup Dear Sirs;
    March 13, 2014 USFS Region 2 Offices 740 Simms Golden CO RE: Rollins Pass Road followup Dear Sirs; The Organizations above are contacting you regarding the restoration and reopening of the Rollins Pass Road in the Boulder Ranger District of the Arapahoe/Roosevelt National Forest and its status following the Boulder County Commissioners public meeting on this issue that occurred on February 13, 2014. This meeting was personally attended by County Commissioners from Gilpin and Grand Counties and approximately 300 or more members of the public. Testimony that was received from the public was overwhelmingly in favor of reopening the Rollins Pass Road and was received from a wide range of interest groups including Historical societies, local governments, local businesses, the motorized community, sportsman and railroad interests. Often the public displayed high levels of frustration regarding factual inaccuracies in presentations and positions taken by Boulder County and USFS representatives. Many comments were made that the issue appeared to have moved further away from resolution than ever before. Prior to addressing the specific concerns regarding the importance of the Rollins Pass Road area, a brief summary of each Organization is needed. The Colorado Off-Highway Vehicle Coalition ("COHVCO") is a grassroots advocacy organization of approximately 150,000 registered OHV users in Colorado seeking to represent, assist, educate, and empower all OHV recreationists in the protection and promotion of off-highway motorized recreation throughout Colorado. COHVCO is an environmental organization that advocates and promotes the responsible use and conservation of our public lands and natural resources to preserve their aesthetic and recreational qualities for future generations.

  • Was Organized Under the Conservancy Law of Colorado C.R.S
    HISTORY AND STATUS OF THE PUEBLO CONSERVANCY DISTRICT as of June, 2014 The Pueblo Conservancy District (PCD) was organized under the Conservancy Law of Colorado C.R.S. 37-1-101 through 37-8-101 in response to the 1921 flood. The law was originally passed in 1921 (see Chapter CLXXIV of the Compiled Laws of Colorado of 1921, Subdivision III, entitled “Conservancy Districts” beginning with Section 9515 and ending with Section 9580), in direct response to the flood which ravaged Pueblo in 1921. The primary function of PCD is the continuing responsibility related to flood protection of its designated boundaries. The Statutes set forth the specific purposes of PCD as they related to floods and the methods of financing construction, maintenance and operations. In addition to this flood control purpose the Colorado Legislature amended the powers of the Conservancy Districts by expanding the purposes to include conservation of soils and other surface resources; studying correcting and controlling natural and artificial pollution of surface and ground waters; encouraging and participating in the development of parks and recreational facilities within its boundaries. This amendment became effective April 7, 1994. The District was created by decree of the Pueblo District Court on September 14, 1922 following hearing upon Petitions of the County of Pueblo, City of Pueblo, two school districts, two water districts and private citizens for organization of the District under the Act. Three directors were appointed by the Court under an Order of September 30, 1922 and the first meeting of the Board of Directors was held October 7, 1922 to organize the board.
