Signs officially marking the path of the Stage and Rail Trail, a planned 70-mile cycling trail that closely follows the rail line of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad between Salida and Leadville, were recently erected along CR 371, a big step in a very gradual process to create a long-distance cycling trail in Chaffee and Lake counties.
âWeâre celebrating the end of about a 15-year-process of trying to develop an ambitious regional trail,â said Alan Robinson, the trailâs volunteer project advisor. âItâs a combination of driving on county roads and on state highways and trails through the towns where we can do it, and pieces of the Colorado Midland Railroad and the old Cañon City to Leadville stage road.â
Hereâs what you missed from the March 9 meeting of the Buena Vista board of trustees:
1 The board authorized the town administrator to sign documents closing on the sale of the Dryfield Ditch property north of town, along with its associated water rights.
Trustees approved the purchase of the property last month and with the signing of closing documents Friday, town will officially become the owners of the property.
The 103-acre property, located 10 miles north of town, west of U.S. Highway 24 near Tomken Machine has several buildings and includes a deeded 3.1 cubic feet per second water right on the Arkansas River dating to 1882 out of the Dryfield Ditch.
