<br />002306 <br /> <br />Boundary Issues <br /> <br />The conservationists' boundary includes substantial additions to <br />the FPA. Starting at the northeast corner of the Mt, Zirkel <br />Wilderness, the first of these areas takes in some of the riparian <br />habitat at Beaver Creek, as well as the smaller of the two Big <br />Creek Lakes and a wet, boggy area to the south. This aquatic <br />habitat complements the higher elevation lakes and streams in the <br />Mt. Zirkel Wilderness. <br /> <br />The second addition is west of the existing wilderness. This area <br />is already criss-crossed with trails, making it a logical candi- <br />date for inclusion to take some use pressure off the wilderness. <br />It includes the closing of the short road up to the Encampment <br />River and the historic Ellis Road. Originally a Ute Mountain <br />Trail, and later developed into a main transportation route <br />between Hahns Peak and Laramie, this valuable and historic <br />resource is today obliterated by timber cuts on the west side of <br />the Continental Divide, Excellent big game habitat in that same <br />area is another reason to close the road to motorized access. <br /> <br />The third area is also west of the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness. It <br />takes in the very scenic Hole-in-the-Wall and Hinman Canyons. <br />Much of it has been seldom visited in the past, and remains in a <br />virtually wild state, providing abundant big game habitat. This <br />addition to the Davis Peak FPA contains lower elevation eco- <br />systems not presently protected in the NWPS. <br /> <br />12 <br />
