I'm going to update this as soon as I get word, but I've gotten a few PMs in regard to Squaw Pass and I plan on inquiring tomorrow as to whether or not the area near the ski area is usable or not for target shooting. This seems to be a hotly debated and confusing situation going on up there right now and I plan on getting in touch with BLM, USFS and Clear Creek County Sheriff as to more specific details on public land use in this area. I've noticed recently that there has been an increase in hikers up here and not sure what the appeal is as the road is not maintained and the service road is technically not a good choice for hiking. There is a sign that details very vague regulations (just off the paved road on the service road just past the ski area entrance) and is not very visible. I might make a trip up there this weekend to recon the area and see if the sign has been moved, removed or anything else- also I heard that there was a piece of barbed wire stretched across the service road with a no tresspassing sign. Very troubling as this area falls into the Arapaho national forest and is public land.

I'll update as information is found out.
