Voted 10/10 | I've been waiting for you to finish this one. I look directly at both Ptarmigan and Coon Hill from the chair in my living room. Awesome Job. | |

Voted 10/10 | I've come to realize that size doesn't mean much when there are no other hikers around. Let me know when your up this way sometime. I'd be great to explore the Williams Fork with someone who knows it as well as you. | |

Voted 10/10 | Good one. I've read before (can't recall where) that Coon Hill is still doable from the parking area on the west side of the tunnel. Overnight parking isn't suggested but a note left on the dashboard explaining one's wherabouts and a word to a CDOT crew member should keep the tow truck away for day hikes. | |

Voted 10/10 | A new page in the vein of your successful Kenosha Mountains page. Nice job, Jon! It's a little-known fact that there are actually two mountain groups called the Williams Fork Mountains in Colorado! The other lies in Moffat County. Those are named for the Williams Fork of the Yampa River, while your page highlights the range named for the Williams Fork of the Colorado River. Do you know, Jon, if Coon Hill marks the eastern end of the Williams Fork Mountains? Or do Continental Divide peaks like Golden Bear Peak and Hagar Mountain make the cut? BTW, there's a 2003 trip report on FourteenerWorld from Jennifer Roach for Hagar Mountain. She used the parking that you describe in the Coon Hill section to do her hike, so it would seem that that option is still available in the post-9/11 world. | |

Hasn't voted | Ryan, Thanks much for all the information... I most definately did not know there are two named "Williams Fork Mountains". How funny. I will correct the text to point out that these are the Colorado River's Williams Fork Mountains. I wonder if I could get an answer on the legality of parking at the tunnel directly from CDOT. Perhaps I should call. Anyway I realy appreciate your feedback. Thank you for helping. Jon Bradford | |

Voted 10/10 | It's a great page, but one consistent typo I've noticed in your picture captions is the spelling of Ptarmigan as Ptamigan (missing an r) Thanks, Sam | |

Voted 10/10 | Thanks for posting this well-written page on an interesting range. I look forward to visiting these mountains. My usual proofreading report: quiet gentle -> quite gentle thist for water -> thirst for water deffinately popular -> definitely popular more obscure summit then -> more obscure summit than Pine Beatle -> Pine Beetle the gentle ridge-crest ... extend -> the gentle ridge-crest ... extends to close to civilization -> too close to civilization | |

Hasn't voted | Grant, Because the range is of such small scale, consisting of nothing but rolling ridges with only a few notable highpoints (the three covered summits) and there was zero information on these mountains prior to this submission I chose to make it like I did. I did not think I would be exceeding the scope of a single page to describe this little range. If I get many complaints I will happily strip it down to a Ute Peak page. This wasn't some attempt to grab summits. I just wanted to maximize the efficiency of my efforts and address an area that had previously been completely ignored. The Kenosha Mountains page I had done previously is in the same vein. Is that also a problem? Thank you. Jon Bradford | |

| Scott | Range? | |
Voted 10/10 | Jon, should this page be changed to a "range" rather than individual "mountain" page? PS, strangely there is another range called Williams Fork Mountains south of Craig. It isn't as interesting as this one though. | |
