    Wild Connections Conservation Plan for the Pike & San Isabel National Forests Chapter 5 – Complexes: Area-Specific Management Recommendations This section contains our detailed, area-specific proposal utilizing the theme based approach to land management. As an organizational tool, this proposal divides the Pike-San Isabel National Forest into eleven separate Complexes, based on geo-physical characteristics of the land such as mountain ranges, parklands, or canyon systems. Each complex narrative provides details and justifications for our management recommendations for specific areas. In order to emphasize the larger landscape and connectivity of these lands with the ecoregion, commentary on relationships to adjacent non-Forest lands are also included. Evaluations of ecological value across public and private lands are used throughout this chapter. The Colorado Natural Heritage Programs rates the biodiversity of Potential Conservation Areas (PCAs) as General Biodiversity, Moderate, High, Very High, and Outranking Significance. The Nature Conservancy assesses the conservation value of its Conservation Blueprint areas as Low, Moderately Low, Moderate, Moderately High and High. The Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project's Wildlands Network Vision recommends land use designations of Core Wilderness, Core Agency, Low and Moderate Compatible Use, and Wildlife Linkages. Detailed explanations are available from the respective organizations. Complexes – Summary List by Watershed Table 5.1: Summary of WCCP Complexes Watershed Complex Ranger District

  • 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.

I I.1 I I SYNOPSIS NOT FOR FU~LIC l{ELEASJ Raton Mesa near Trinidad, Colorado, about 200 miles south of Denver, I is the highest, most scenic, impressive and accessible of a scattered group of lava-capped mesas straddling the eastern half of the Colorado- I New Mexico boundary. It and its highest part, Fishers Peak, are well I known landmarks dating back to the days of the Santa Fe Trail which~ traverses Raton Pass on its southwest flank, today crossed by an interstate high- I way. Three distinct, easily recognized vegetative zones, mostly forest, lay on its slopes; the Mesa top is a high mountain grassland. I Ancient lava flows covered portions of this region, the Raton I section of the Great Plains physiographic province, millions of years ago when the surface was much higher. These flows protected the mesas from subsequent erosion which has carried away the surrounding territory, • leaving Fishers Peak today towering 4,000 feet above the City of Trinidad. I Lavas at Capulin Mountain, a National Monument located nearby in New I Mexico, though at a lower elevation, are thought to be much more recent. Raton Pass was a strategic point on the Mountain Branch of the I Santa Fe Trail during the Mexican and Civil Wars, and to travelers past and present a clima~~ gateway to the southwest.
