2016 Map of Fall River Pass

About this map

Lulu City stands as a primary historical landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the Continental Divide separates the watersheds of the Colorado River and the Cache la Poudre River. This map details the intersection of Rocky Mountain National Park, Roosevelt National Forest, and Routt National Forest, illustrating a complex network of alpine hydrology and trails. The presence of the Grand Ditch and its various access points highlights the legacy of trans-basin water diversion projects designed to move water across the divide. Travelers and researchers can trace the old Lulu City Network Trail and locate the Lulu City Cem, which remains a quiet marker of late 19th-century mining ambitions. The terrain is defined by dramatic passes including Milner Pass and Fall River Pass, alongside distinctive geological formations like The Crater and Little Yellowstone. High lakes such as Lake Irene and Timber Lake feed the streams that eventually carve through the Kawuneeche Valley.
