White River National Forest: Holy Cross Ranger District

Recreation opportunities abound on the Holy Cross Ranger District. The district is home to the well known ski resorts of Vail and Beaver Creek. Roughly 35 percent of the district is designated Wilderness and includes major portions of the Holy Cross and Eagle's Nest Wildernesses. Five huts operated by the Tenth Mountain Hut Association, along with their associated trail systems, are found on the district. Camp Hale, a World War II winter training site for the 10th Mountain Division now on the National Register of Historic Places, is situated toward the south end of the district.
