Get Wild: The wilderness needs you

Get Wild A volunteer works to clear a tree from the Mesa Cortina Trail on Aug. 4, 2020, in Eagles Nest Wilderness Area. Photo by David Brewster / Eagle Summit Wilderness Alliance Our wilderness areas in Summit County are wonderful places to visit, and every year thousands of people hike, camp, fish, admire the wildlife and wildflowers, and enjoy the solitude. Unfortunately, every year, nature and people cause trails to be eroded and bridges to break, trees to fall and brush to grow over trails. In addition, illegal campfire rings and camps are built in overused and delicate areas, sensitive vegetation is trampled, non-native noxious weeds are introduced and trash is left behind.

Get Wild: Identifying Summit s spring wildflower treasures

Get Wild May mud season brings out mixed emotions in Summit County. I can still ski, I can ride my bike, and I get excited for the early spring wildflowers! These amazingly well-adapted plants prove it really is springtime. By the summer solstice June 20, we will have meadows of wildflowers in bloom. In May, we get a teaser of summer glories to come. Sagebrush buttercups are pictured April 29 along Ptarmigan Trail. Photo by Karn Stiegelmeier / Eagle Summit Wilderness Alliance Sagebrush buttercups Sagebrush buttercups (Ranunculous glaberrimus) are bright, shiny, five-petaled blooms found in May on south-facing, exposed hillsides along with chiming bells and pasqueflowers.

Get Wild: What is wilderness?

Photo by Tim Drescher / Eagle Summit Wilderness Alliance Summit and Eagle counties are fortunate to have lots of public land that we can enjoy and on which we can recreate. That is why we live here. Most of these lands are in the White River National Forest. Some special areas of the national forest are designated and managed as wilderness areas, including the Eagles Nest, Ptarmigan Peak and Holy Cross wilderness areas. So what are wilderness areas, how do they differ from the rest of the national forest, and why are they important? Wilderness areas are federally owned lands designated by Congress in accordance with the 1964 Wilderness Act to be part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Only Congress can designate a wilderness area. Eagles Nest was designated by Congress in 1976, Holy Cross in 1980 and Ptarmigan Peak in 1993. Wilderness areas are the creme de la creme of our public lands: 36% of Colorado land is federally owned but only 3% is designated as wilderness.
