Wildfire season is fast approaching, and with it comes the memory of 2020âs record-breaking fires.
The Grizzly Creek Fire, in particular, hit close to home. Thankfully no lives were lost and no homes were burned, but the fire closed Interstate 70 for 13 days, damaged water and power infrastructure, threatened several neighborhoods of Glenwood Canyon and burned through some of the most iconic landscapes of the Western Slope.
Just 10 days after the Grizzly Creek Fire ignited, Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers launched the Glenwood Canyon Restoration Alliance (GCRA), knowing that collaboration would be key. Already, restoration efforts have begun in the Hanging Lake and Grizzly Creek areas. To ensure the continued success of our efforts, weâre now launching an ambitious $100,000 fundraising campaign.
