  • 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.

  • Cheley Pack Rat Cheley Colorado Camps
    CHELEY PACK RAT CHELEY COLORADO CAMPS ... WWW.CHELEY.COM ... EMAIL: [email protected] FALL 2007 Live in the Moment The theme for this summer was “Live in the Mountains, Live in the Moment” (LITMLITM). Each one of us had an opportunity to spend part or all of our summer enjoying the beautiful Rocky Mountains. We had a chance to live in the moment as we watched the sunset with a friend, sang songs around a campfire, stood on top of a peak, or just hung out with some fellow campers at treats. Each year, it seems Cheley is more important for our culture. We have a chance to unplug and get away from the craziness of the world and slow down to experience nature with people from all over the world. We also have a chance to strive to become the best people we can be in a supportive, caring environment. Each one of us this summer took part in developing a Code of Living. Whether it was the support staff developing the values they wanted to live by, or it was a group of campers sitting in their cabin talking about their ideas for the code, each one of us had a say in the standard we wanted live by. During the summer, we were surrounded by supportive campers and staff that helped us strive to uphold the Code of Living. As we say at the end of the summer, the challenge starts when you go back to the “real world”. Well, you have had a few months back in the “real world”.

Congress enacted several laws to encourage the settlement and use of these Federal lands. Through the Homestead Act of 1862, the Mining Act of 1872, and the Timber Culture Act of 1873, millions of acres of Federal land were earned or purchased from the government for private use. In 1891, Congress established forest reserves to protect the remaining land and its timber. In Colorado, many of these forest reserve lands were located in between old homesteads and mining claims resulting in an intermix of ownership.
