“

Working with the Forest Service, Open Space and Trails has installed a series of interpretive panels in the Hunter Creek valley to help folks learn about its history. However, the 100+ year old cabins have not received such attention and time has not been kind to them. They are in need of significant stabilization and preservation due to the weathering effects of nature coupled with vandalism and graffiti; however, both the Forest Service and Open Space and Trails have limits on how their existing funding can be used. The Hunter Creek Historical Foundation is stepping into the role that cannot be filled by either Pitkin County or the Forest Service.”
