A message from the Forest Supervisor

I am proud to present the 2013 accomplishments 

of the White River National Forest. The White 

River is one of the crown jewels of our nation’s 

public land system. As stewards of this remarkable 

landscape, the employees of the White River 

National Forest are dedicated to caring for the land 

and delivering a wide variety of goods and services 

to the American public. 

The work we achieved in 2013 would not have 

been possible without the passion and 

contributions from our partners and a host of 

dedicated volunteers. Over $3 million in cash and 

in-kind was provided to the Forest from our 

outstanding partnerships. A huge “thank you” to 

all our partners and volunteers!

This year marks the 50

th Anniversary of the signing

of the Wilderness Act. The White River National 

Forest contains over 750,000 acres of some of the

finest wilderness in the nation. Included in this

national wilderness system is the Flat Tops

Wilderness often referred to as the “Cradle of

Wilderness” where the entire notion of setting 

aside lands in perpetuity was spawned by Arthur 

Carhart in 1919.

As I look forward to 2014 and beyond there are 

many significant challenges facing the Forest. 

Budgets continue to decrease while the demands 

on the land are increasing. Given this, we will have 

to prioritize our work and will not be able to 

accomplish everything we have in the past. We will

do our very best to be more efficient and will 

continue to collaborate with our partners to 

sustain the resources of the White River National 

Forest. 

This document is a report to you, the owners of 

this magnificent piece of public land. We have 

summarized our financial picture and provide an 

overview of our accomplishments for each 

program on the Forest. I hope you find it 

informative and useful. For more information, visit

White River National Forest Annual Report
RECREATION

The White River National Forest continues to be the most heavily visited National 

Forest in the nation with estimated use above 12.3 million annual visits. Its 

unique location along the I-70 corridor and close proximity to the Denver area, 

allows for easy access to a wide range of recreation activities as well as 

management challenges to address user conflicts, visitor needs, impacts to 

resources, and the evolution of sport. The opportunities are wide-ranging from 

skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, to backpacking, hiking, camping, boating, 

biking, stand-up paddle boarding and hunting. The White River provides more 

than 2,500 miles of trails, 1,900 miles of Forest Service system roads, 66 

campgrounds, 12 ski areas, and eight world-class Wilderness areas.

 The Travel Management Implementation plan was implemented in

FY13 to provide a wide range of uses and experiences to suit the

public’s recreation and travel needs while protecting the Forest’s

natural resources. In FY13, the Forest continued to install kiosks across

the five districts to provide visitors with the latest travel information.

An additional 24 kiosks were installed bringing the total number of

Travel Management kiosks to 185. The Buena Vista Colorado

Correctional Industries crew continues to build the kiosks each winter

under an agreement.

 The long awaited White River National Forest Visitor Map was

released in the summer of 2013. The map was last updated in

1991.The new map incorporates all recreation information for the

public on one map. Additionally, the White River has completed

annual updates on Motor Vehicle Use Maps that identify routes and

areas that are open to motorized uses during both the summer and

winter seasons. These maps were made available through apps for

mobile devices.

 For the past three years, the Forest has been involved in the activities

and permitting related to the USA Pro Cycling Challenge bike race.

Rangers and Forest staff patrolled the summit of Independence Pass to

educate spectators about the Forest, offer advice on where to camp,

and provide an enthusiastic Forest Service presence.

 The Aspen-Sopris Ranger District in partnership with Aspen Center for

Environmental Studies, Pitkin County, and the City of Aspen completed

the Hunter Creek-Smuggler Mountain Cooperative Plan to include

improvements on recreation trails, forest health, wildlife habitat, and

Smuggler Road.

WILDLIFE

The White River National Forest provides wildlife habitat for hundreds of native 

wildlife species. Wildlife habitats range from low elevation shrubland to 14,000 

foot mountain peaks. Wildlife species are equally as diverse with large mammals 

such as elk, black bear, Canada lynx, bighorn sheep, to rare birds such as the black 

swift and peregrine falcon. Our wildlife program consists of partnership projects 

to improve habitat, inventorying and monitoring of rare species, and designing 

projects to accommodate wildlife needs. 

 The Aspen-Sopris District began implementing the Grizzly Creek

Bighorn Sheep Habitat Improvement Project , restoring landscapes

through mechanical thinning and weed treatments of key winter range

for the Glenwood Canyon bighorn sheep herd.

 A volunteer effort sponsored by Wilderness Workshop donated 143

volunteer hours on the Aspen-Sopris District to remove a fence near

Ashcroft. The volunteers removed 3.7 miles of old range fencing,

improving 594 acres of habitat for big game and other native wildlife

and reducing entanglement hazards.

 The White River National Forest partnered with Colorado Parks and

Wildlife, Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Society, Wild Sheep

Foundations, and a local sheep rancher to monitor bighorn and

domestic sheep in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness. The results

of the study will help land managers identify site-specific methods for

separating the two types of sheep to try and prevent direct contact and

disease transfer from domestic to wild sheep.

 Wildlife biologists continued the ongoing partnership with Rocky

Mountain Research Station and Colorado Parks and Wildlife on the

Colorado Lynx Winter Recreation Study to better understand the

overlap between winter recreational users and lynx movements and

choice of habitat.

 Biologists from the Forest and Colorado Parks and Wildlife installed

small electronic devises in caves to monitor temperature and humidity

to determine whether caves may be vulnerable to the fungus that

causes white-nose syndrome in bats. Visit New Caving Rules on our

website to learn how to help prevent the spread of the fungus to bats

in the region.

 White River National Forest wildlife biologist, Kim Potter, was honored

at the Wings Across the Americas Conservation Awards ceremony in

Washington, DC for her outstanding achievement in bird conservation.

FISH AND WATERSHEDS

The goals of the White River’s Aquatic and Fisheries program are to provide 

healthy stream and lake habitats as well as viable populations of fish and other 

aquatic species. We reach our goals by focusing on the conservation of native 

aquatic species and landscapes, habit improvement, and partnerships. 

 Volunteers from Aspen Skiing Company and Wilderness Workshop

helped the Aspen-Sopris Ranger District reroute one-half mile of East

Maroon trail to a more sustainable tread. The result was improved

stream health and a reduction in boreal toad mortality from horse

trampling in East Maroon Creek.

 The Coal Basin Road Rehabilitation Pilot Project involved multiple

partners, funders, and over 50 resource experts to restore resiliency to

a degraded ecosystem. The project routed drainage and placed

boulders and wood for grade control in strategic locations over a ten

acre reclamation area, and used a mix of biochar and compost to help

stabilize the soil.

 The WRNF teamed up with the Blue River Watershed Group, National

Forest Foundation, Colorado Water Conservation Board, Climax

Molybdenum, and Copper Mountain Resort to restore a 1,600 foot

section of Ten Mile Creek. The new stream channel resembles premining conditions that provides improved fish habitat.

 A collaborative planning effort has been ongoing for three years on the

Dillon Ranger District to restore over two miles of stream and 100 acres

of riparian habitat. The Swan River Project plans to reclaim streams

degraded by historic mining and improve in-stream aquatic and wildlife

habitat and provide fishing access to the public.

 Employees continue to inspect boats at Green Mountain and Ruedi

Reservoirs to prevent the accidental introduction of aquatic nuisance

species (such as zebra mussels).

 The White River National Forest signed the Crooked Creek Stream

Channel and Wetland Restoration Project decision notice. The Crooked

Creek Project aims to restore impacted streams and wetlands from

historic reservoir construction and operations.

 The Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District replaced under-sized metal

culverts with new structures called Aquatic Organism Passages on

Missouri Creek Road. The new structures are designed to better

handle peak stream flows and provide easier passage for fish and other

aquatic species.

RANGE AND WEEDS

The White River National Forest permits sustainable grazing to local ranches in a 

manner compatible with other uses. Rangeland management includes the 

production of vegetation for the protection of watersheds to provide high quality 

water, soil stability, and a variety of plants and forage for wildlife and livestock. 

The goal of our weed program is to prevent new weed infestations as well as 

reduce and eventually control or eradicate existing noxious weed populations. 

 Range program management resulted in over 337,000 rangeland acres

administered to standard by checking forage conditions and

monitoring permit and allotment management plan compliance.

 Two National Environmental Policy Act projects were finalized and

decisions were made on two grazing allotments on the Rifle Ranger

District for the Hunter Creek and Wallace Creek allotments.

 The Aspen-Sopris Ranger District’s invasive species program treated

352 acres in the Castle Creek, Coal Basin, and Cattle Creek areas

through partnership funding from Aspen Center for Environmental

Studies (ACES).

 Range specialists used targeted livestock grazing along with native seed

and soil amendments to enhance restoration of coal tailing piles.

Various combinations of native grass seed, straw, haw, compost, and

biochar/compost mix were applied to three one acre trial plots in 2013.

Results from these plots will be used to plan future restoration efforts.

LANDS

The Lands Program accomplishes the issuance and administration of Special Use 

Administrations, land adjustments through exchanges, sales, purchases and 

donations, right-of-way acquisitions, resolution of title questions, and surveying 

of Forest boundaries. Realty specialists provide support for Forest activities and 

the public through determination of land ownership, boundary locations and 

management responsibilities for roads and trails. 

 With the approval of the Eagle Valley Land Exchange, the White River

National Forest acquired a 640-acre parcel of Colorado State Land

Board property north of Berry Creek, and 184 acres of private land on

the Eagle’s Nest Wilderness Boundary.

 A land exchange between the Forest Service and Chihuahua LLC

conveyed 43 acres of the historic Chihuahua Townsite to the White

River National Forest in exchange for 21 acres of National Forest land

near Keystone’s River Run gondola. The exchange had been in the

works since 2001.

 The Forest Service sold five undeveloped lots on its Aspen West End

campus for $7.01 million to three separate buyers. The sale will allow

the Forest to start the process of remodeling its Aspen office and

bunkhouse.

 The Aspen-Sopris Ranger District completed an Environmental

Assessment for rockfall protection and culvert projects along Colorado

State Highway 133 to ensure public safety along our highways.

 The White River National Forest and the Colorado Department of

Transportation authorized a new communications site at the Hanging

Lake Recreation Area to accommodate five wireless carriers and

enhance emergency services communications in Glenwood Canyon.

The project also enabled the Colorado Department of Transportation

to improve its communications system.

 In August 2013, three communication sites were audited at Officer’s

Gulch, West Portal, and Sunlight Peak. The Communications Specialist

from the WO audited the sites and found them to be satisfactory. In

their audit, they discovered $14,460 of annual rent due to the

government.

 The Forest Service sold the 4.4 acre Minturn Boneyard property to the

town of Minturn for $2.3 million. The revenue generated from the sale

will stay on the White River National Forest and will be used to

improve administrative facilities.

White River National Forest Annual Report
ENGINEERINGFACILITIES 

The White River National Forest provides more than 2,300 miles of roads open to 

motorized travel with 45 road bridges/major culverts, 150 administrative 

facilities, and the infrastructure in over 30 campgrounds throughout the Forest. 

Engineering continues to support the resources needs to manage the National 

Forest and strives for sustainable solutions on our current and future 

infrastructure demands. 

 The most significant facilities project constructed in 2013 was the Rifle

Ranger District renovation/addition. The Rifle District office was

substantially modified and expanded, incorporating a number of

conserving technologies including an entrance vestibule, ground source

heat pumps, roof-mounted photovoltaic panels, improved insulation,

and water conserving fixtures and landscaping. Accessibility was

improved via a new entrance path and ramp.

 We’re working hard to reduce our overall facilities footprint in order to

reduce costs and create a ‘right-sized’ sustainable inventory. The next

big step in that direction is the completion of the Supervisor’s Office

renovation. What started as an HVAC (heating, ventilation and air

conditioning) replacement has become an opportunity to move the

entire staff under one roof. Incorporating green materials,

collaborative work spaces, energy efficient lighting, and modernized

communication equipment, it will become a model of efficient

administration space and much more customer friendly. Further, it

allows for early termination of leased ‘overflow’ space.

 The Forest completed five emergency repair projects using funds

provided by the Federal Highway Administration Emergency Relief for

Federally Owned Roads Program. That effort restored over two miles

of stream habitat by replacing undersized culverts with Aquatic

Organism Passages on the Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District.

Additionally, the staff designed or assisted in the design of ten

road/stream crossings in Regions 4, 5, and 9 with White River National

Forest engineering/hydrology expertise as part of the Restoration

National Design Team.

 Average miles per gallon on the Forest went from 14.6 in 2012 to 16.8

in 2013, making the White River National Forest, the best in Region 2.

We expect continued progress after making other changes to the fleet

by adding four more hybrid vehicles bringing the total to 16, and

adding new compressed natural gas trucks. The cost savings were

immediate as the FOR was reduced by 25%.

FOREST MANAGEMENT & FIRE

During the last decade, the White River National Forest was affected by the 

mountain pine beetle epidemic and other insect infestations. Forest managers 

reduce and manage hazardous fuels, remove hazardous trees, and focus on 

restoration projects to improve the health, resiliency, and safety of our forest. 

Forest health treatments are primarily focused in what is called the “Wildland 

Urban Interface” (often called the “WUI”) along roads and trails, in developed 

recreation areas, and near infrastructure such as utility corridors. 

 In November 2013, the White River National Forest awarded a Long

Term Stewardship Contract to West Range Reclamation. West Range

Reclamation partnered with Eagle Valley Clean Energy which recently

completed an 11.5 megawatt biomass facility in Gypsum, Colo. The

plant will produce electricity by burning beetle-kill trees collected from

the White River National Forest. The ten-year contract requires

treatment management of 1,000 acres per year. It includes a wide

range of vegetation treatments actions include bark beetle mitigation,

fuels reduction, aspen treatments along with a variety of slash pile

cleanup throughout the Forest.

 Contractors removed beetle killed trees in an area near the town of

Minturn as part of the Minturn Wildland Urban Interface Stewardship

Project.

 The Upper Colorado River Central Zone, which includes interagency

Bureau of Land Management land, fully suppressed 167 fires with

1,516 acres burned.

 A decision notice was signed for the Burnt Mountain Project. This

project included silviculture treatments to increase age class diversity

and species distribution while capturing the economic value of dead

and dying trees.

VOLUNTEERSPARTNERS

A great deal of valuable work on the White River National Forest would not be 

accomplished without the efforts of our partners. These partnerships can provide 

funding, salary/labor, supplies and materials or in some cases a combination of all 

these services. Examples of new and on-going partnership work include but are not 

limited to: reclamation and mitigation of safety hazards related to abandoned mines; 

mutual interest and mutual benefit in various projects that enhance Forest Service 

activities including range, trails, timber, education, wildlife, watershed and many 

more; cooperative pollution abatement, manpower, job training and development 

programs; improving, maintaining, or protecting ecosystem conditions through 

collaborative administration and/or implementation of projects.

 Partners and volunteers on the Dillon Ranger District contributed 17,209 

volunteer hours. Partners include: Friends of the Dillon Ranger District, 

Friends of the Eagles Nest Wilderness, Rocky Mountain Youth Corps, 

Student Conservation Association, Colorado Fourteeners Initiative, 

Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, Blue River Watershed Group, and the 

Colorado Trail Foundation. Most of our partners receive funding through 

the National Forest Foundation’s Ski Conservation Fund. 

 The Forest Conservancy contributed 6,750 volunteer hours and completed 

648 patrols with their volunteer corps of 111 people. The volunteers hiked 

2,281 mile and counted more than 30,000 trail users. These volunteers are 

the face of the forest as volunteer wilderness rangers, forest ambassadors, 

and master naturalists. 

 Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers (RFOV) is a vital partner to the White 

River National Forest. RFOV hosted several volunteer days on the forest in 

2013, including two joint projects with Colorado Backcountry Trail Riders on 

the Lone Pine Trail, north of Basalt. RFOV works with individuals and 

organizations throughout the Roaring Fork Valley, adopting and maintaining 

trails between Aspen and Glenwood Springs.

 Independence Pass Foundation completed the rehabilitation of Lake Creek 

Trailhead by smoothing out the entrance road, importing compost to 

encourage revegetation, and planting of hundreds of native flowers, shrubs 

and trees to restore the natural ecosystem.

 The White River National Forest’s botany program developed a partnership 

with the Colorado Natural Heritage Program to implement a remote 

sensing technique that identified nearly 15,000 acres of potential fens on 

the WRNF. Another partnership with Colorado Mountain College

characterized these fens. Fen characterization efforts were identified at 

Swan River, North of the White River, Divide Creek, and Lime Creek.

VOLUNTEERSPARTNERS

 Rocky Mountain Youth Corp helped close the gap of backlog 

maintenance in our trails and rangeland management programs on the 

Rifle Ranger District generously funded by Garfield County. With help 

from the Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers in 2013 two Rocky Mountain 

Youth Corps crews consisting of 6-8 individuals spent 12 weeks working 

in remote locations across the forest. Their impressive work included 

removal of hundreds of fallen timbers across trails and cattle routes, 

eradication of invasive species, fence removal, opening up miles of 

overgrown trails with removal of woody vegetation, improvements at

the Meadow Lake Complex, construction of rock walls and trail 

maintenance along 30 plus miles of trail. Some of the trails the crews 

worked on are: Hadley Gulch, Main Elk, Cayton Gulch, Grizzly Creek, 

East Elk, Sweetwater, Middle Thompson and Mitchell Creek. 

 The Aspen-Sopris Ranger District continued their strong partnership 

with Colorado Rocky Mountain School, RFOV, Forest Conservancy, 

Wilderness Volunteers, Aspen Skiing Company, CMC, Wilderness 

Workshop and completed a wide-range of trail improvement projects 

including a 70’ New Turnpike at Fravert Basin and a 50’ Turnpike Repair 

in the Hunter Frying Pan Wilderness.

 The Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District partnered with the National Forest 

Foundation’s (NFF) Camp Hale Treasured Landscapes to restore the 

landscape, preserve its history, and maintain sustainable recreation 

activities for Forest visitors. Last winter, NFF began working with 

interested parties to collaboratively develop a shared vision for future 

improvements to the site. Once the cooperative master plan is 

completed in summer 2014, the NFF will raise funds and work with 

partners to implement ecological restoration activities.

 The Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES) continued to 

provide integral interpretive and educational support to the AspenSopris Ranger Districts. Additionally, ACES was influential in the 

development of the Hunter-Smuggler Management Plan and Project.

 An ongoing strategic partnership between Vail Resorts, Copper 

Mountain, Arapahoe Basin, the Forest Service, and the National Forest 

Foundation led to a $650,000 investment in the White River National 

Forest and 14 community-based nonprofit organizations. Work aimed 

to enhance wildlife habitat, restore streams and riparian areas, improve 

trail systems, remove non-native weeds, and plant native trees.
