RD,
Camp Hale, home of the 10th Mountain Division (famous member, Lt. Robert Dole) was a large training area, the encampment was located just east of Hwy 24 at the forks of the Eagle River and the East Fork. In 2003 the Forest Service closed much of the campgrounds and the area near them due to unexploded ordinance. Pretty ironic, since that area had seen a lot of use over the last 60 years. The Original Camp Jeep was held there in 1993 or 94 with 3,500 people attending. I had planned to hold Camp Dodge in 2001 near there also. The actual bounderies of Camp Hale extended from Leadville on the south to Frisco on the north, to Mt. Holy Cross to the west and Climax to the east.
