Abstract

WHO would not be attracted by the thought of a vacation spent on the Great Divide, that mighty crest of the conti nent, where towering peaks, jeweled lakes, tree-clad slopes, and green parks await the lover of nature and the out-of-doors? In the heart of this great mountain playground is the Cochetopa National Forest, whose more than 900,000 acres stretch for 60 miles along the Divide in Chaffee, Hinsdale, and Saguache Counties and contain some of the most rugged and picturesque scenery to be found in Colorado.
