BLM seeks public comments on Special Recreation Permit in San Juan Mountains
MONTROSE, Colo. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Uncompahgre Field Office is seeking public comment on a proposal from the Cimarron Mountain Club (CMC) for a Special Recreation Permit (SRP) to conduct commercially guided hikes, snowshoeing, skiing, snowboarding, and avalanche mitigation on public lands in Montrose County. CMC is a private club and residential community in the south San Juan Mountains, ten miles northeast of Ridgway.
“Recreation in the San Juan Mountains is a world class experience,” said Acting Uncompahgre Field Manager Amy Carmichael. “Hearing from the public will help us make an informed decision.”
Cimarron Mountain Club, Colorado
By Samantha Coles | December 23 2020
For something a little different, consider Cimarron Mountain Club. It is a members’ club in Colorado situated on 1,750 private acres in the San Juan Mountains between Telluride and Crested Butte.
There are only 13 family memberships available, and at the time of this
Elite Traveler issue going to print, there were seven memberships still up for grabs. Members have access to an unbelievable landscape: There’s more skiable terrain than Aspen Mountain and a whole host of outdoor adventures such as ice fishing, snowshoeing, rock climbing and mountain biking. And as the area is accessible only to members, you’re not likely to see another soul except for the onsite guides who can accompany you.
