Rollins Pass (??)

[7idl]

I've been over the whole thing, back in the day.

Jenny Lake is about 100yds off of Rollins Pass road.

Just stay on Rollins Pass road to get to the roadblock.

next year, I'll do the back side.

FYI,
I use to do land use for Mile Hi Jeep Club, and am still on the Boulder Ranger Dist. list for the meetings. I get updates every month and was present at a presentation by the guy that got this whole thing rolling.

Rawlins pass road is in the process of being re opened. It is taking an agreement between two counties, the forest service and I believe the Highway dept. There is a grant proposal that I think has been OKd (I need to go find the last email about this) for fixing the tunnel and the road that uses old rail bed bridges - which bye the way have gas pipelines running under them.
The trail/tunnel was originally closed because of a lawsuit brought by a fireman that suffered a broken foot because of a rock fall. Problem is, he was on the closed side of the tunnel with a group of fire fighters (that were from a conference and had no business being on that side of the blocked off area) AND he was standing on the rocks from a previous collapse......

It's a big stinking mess that took a lot of money and hard work just to get this far. If I had the link I would post it, but do a search for Rawlins Pass Restoration or something like that..... I can't remember what the real name was, it has been about 4 years since I saw the presentation.
