Cucumber Gulch Wildlife Preserve and the Breckenridge Nordic Center - Colorado
Cucumber Gulch is a designated wildlife preserve so you'll see signs asking to keep dogs out!
Cucumber Gulch has been one of the main areas of focus for the Town of Breckenridge, Colorado since the inception of the Open Space program. The area, which contains 77 acres of wetlands, is one of the Town’s most treasured yet threatened resources. It provides vital habitat for the state-endangered boreal toad, moose, elk, deer, mountain lion, beaver, and over forty-seven species of birds. It’s hard to believe that such a wildlife sanctuary exists within a mile of Breckenridge’s Main Street!
Due to its location between town and the base of the Breckenridge Ski Resort Peak 8 area, Cucumber Gulch and its wildlife inhabitants are surrounded by, and vulnerable to, human disturbance. The area also encompasses many of the trails that make up the Breckenridge Nordic Center, as well as seasonal hiking and biking trails. At the same time, the Gulch is almost completely surrounded by existing or pending development.

Inside the Berthoud Pass Warming Hut, Colorado - 3,446 metres (11,307 feet)
Berthoud Pass is located on U.S. Highway 40 about 70 kilometres (43 miles) west of Denver, Colorado. The pass provides a high route between upper Clear Creek Canyon to the upper valley of the Fraser River in Middle Park to the north. Berthoud Pass traverses the continental divide at the Front Range, on the border between Clear Creek County and Grand County.
The pass is named for Edward L. Berthoud, the chief surveyor of the Colorado Central Railroad during the 1870s. Accompanied by Jim Bridger, Berthoud discovered the pass in July 1861 while surveying a possible route for the railroad.
Berthoud determined that the pass was only suitable as a wagon road, but not for the railroad due to its steep grade (6.3% on either side), along with winding switchbacks and many tight spots.
From Denver and the Front Range Berthoud Pass provides the fastest road access to Winter Park and a secondary route to Steamboat Springs. However, Berthoud Pass is considered one of the more difficult passes in Colorado and is often closed due to weather, snow accumulations, and accidents.
At one time this location was home to the now defunct Berthoud Pass Ski Area. Now, however, the warming hut/restrooms (seen in this video) are provided for the convenience of backcountry skiers, snowboarders, and snowshoers that are attracted to the area's abundance of steep and challenging terrain and plentiful snow.
The twisting road on both sides of the pass also makes hitchhiking car shuttles possible, eliminating the need for skiers and snowboarders to hike back to the top of the pass after each run.
The ski resort was closed in 2002 due to financial problems caused by lack of water and sewage at the top of the pass. In 2003 the lifts were taken down, while some people continued to ski using snowcats for lift transportation. In 2005 the Colorado DOT began using a fund to restore the area to its natural state. First on the list was the demolition of the historic lodge.
The warming hut you see in my video was opened at the top of the pass in May 2008, along with an expanded parking area, two sceneic viewing areas and a new summit marker sign. The ski lodge and facilities had been in use since the early 1950s and the new warming hut includes modern features such as composting toilets, radiant floor heating, the video screen you see in the video, and green construction.
Berthoud Ski resort is claimed by some to have been the first resort and lift in Colorado. Some say it was the first resort to openly welcome snowboarders.
