Just a quick note for the "Red Tape" section, the forest service closes several trails and areas in the Northern Sawatch annually for elk calving habitat. Most closures occur between May 1 and July 1, check with the Forest Service at the Minturn Ranger Station (970) 827-5715 for current conditions before heading out. These closures include the Tigiwon Road which provides access to Mount of The Holy Cross. Thanks!
