Lake Pueblo State Park implements winter hours for boat ramps and decontamination stations that guard against the invasion of zebra and quagga mussels “These seasonal hours mean boaters have less freedom to come and go at Lake Pueblo,” said Joe Stadterman, Lake Pueblo operations manager. “After ANS stations and gates are closed, the boat ramps are locked and no boats are able to enter or leave the water. “The strict control of access is necessary to continue to keep Lake Pueblo free of invasive zebra and quagga mussels.” CPW orders public fish salvage as extreme drought threatens a catastrophic die-off at Wahayoya Reservoir in Huerfano County Wahatoya Reservoir, a coldwater lake known for rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout, is in imminent danger of a catastrophic fish kill due to extremely low lake levels.

  • BACKCOUNTRY CACHE a Newsletter for Members of CMC Backpacking Section
    BACKCOUNTRY CACHE A Newsletter for Members of CMC Backpacking Section May 2021 CHAIR'S CORNER - Uwe Sartori Members often ask what do trip leaders do in getting a trip built and across the finish line? Tied into the answer is the awesome value CMC members receive each time they sign up and do a CMC trip. (Think about it. If you go to a guide service, you are likely paying hundreds of dollars a day.) The chart below shows my investment for an upcoming backpacking trip. This personal investment is repeated by many of our trip leaders regardless of the recreational activity. For this 2 day backpacking trip, there are 24 hours of prep/debrief/admin work and 20 hours of trip activity time; 44 hours total. You can begin to understand why the BPX Section is super keen on having our members keep their commitment and help us AVOID ROSTER CHURN. Having trips cancel due to CMC members dropping out is the bane of trip leaders. Show respect and community by keeping your commitment when signing up for a CMC adventure. I guarantee you will not regret it. BPX TRIPS FOR NEXT 2 MONTHS E=Easy M=Moderate D=Difficult June - July Trips With Openings* Jun 1-3 Tue-Thu M Camping, Hiking, Fishing at Browns Canyon Nat'l Monument Jun 9-11 Wed-Fri E Mayflower and Mohawk Lakes, White River NF Jun 11-13 Fri-Sun M Just-in-Time Wigwam Park, Lost Creek Wilderness Jun 25-28 Fri-Mon D Colorado Trail - Collegiate West Exploratory Jun 29- Tue-Thu D Willow and Salmon Lakes, Eagles Nest Wilderness Jul 1 Jul 1-2 Thu-Fri D Macey Lakes and Colony Baldy, Sangre de Cristo Wilderness
