STAY ALERT!

Never touch, move, or remove any suspicious items you encounter on or in the ground. Mark the area if possible and contact the U.S. Forest Service at 970-827-5715 or the Eagle County Sheriffs Department at 970-328-8500.

The Camp Hale cantonment area (where the troops lived and worked) and portions of East Fork Valley of the Eagle River (collectively known as Eagle Park) are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are now managed with an emphasis on protecting and interpreting the history of the area. Please help the U.S.D.A. Forest Service preserve the historic site and prevent erosion by not driving vehicles off established roadways. Leave historical artifacts where you find them for others to enjoy and learn from.

A Time-Critical Removal Action was performed on the East Fork valley floor during summer 2003. See the Munitions Response page for additional information.

The Colorado Trail/ Continental Divide National Scenic Trail is open without restriction. Check back for any changes in area activities. (03/04)
