Summit County’s recreational pathway system just got longer thanks to the opening of the Fremont Pass extension on Wednesday, July 13.
The project is 2.5 years in the making and adds 3.3 miles to the county’s system. According to a release from the County, the new path bypasses a narrow section of Colorado Highway 91 near Copper Mountain and follows the abandoned railbed of the historic Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad.
It also features two new bridges. One of those “protects an important fen wetland using a specialized design to let light penetrate to underneath vegetation,” said the release. The other bridge “creates a 270-foot highway crossing that provides recpath users safe access across Highway 91.”
The new path stretches from the existing Tenmile Canyon Recpath to the southern boundary of Climax Mine near Leadville.
