About this map

Berthoud Pass serves as the central hub for this high-altitude landscape, where the Continental Divide separates the Arapaho National Forest between Grand and Clear Creek counties. The area is defined by its recreational and industrial infrastructure, ranging from the extensive runs of the Winter Park Ski Area and Mary Jane Ski Area to the engineering of the Vasquez Tunnel and Gumlick Tunnel.

A network of specialized routes like the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and the Mountain Goat Trail navigate the steep topography of Mount Nystrom and Stanley Mtn. To the north, the settlement of Winter Park anchors the valley of the Fraser River, while the southern slopes descend toward Berthoud Falls and the headwaters of the West Fork Clear Creek. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where traditional water management, seen in the Berthoud Pass Ditch, exists alongside modern mountain sports and high-elevation transit corridors.
