We love a good counties helping counties story here at CCI. Here is a photo of the clearing of Cinnamon Pass in Hinsdale County. Communicating with our high-mountain, remote counties was especially important during the 2019 spring/summer opening of the Alpine Loop. This partnership with Road & Bridge departments and assistance during a record snowfall / run-off year was vital for Hinsdale County. Mutual aid also came from Emergency Managers and Sheriff’s Offices to Hinsdale from Gunnison, San Juan, San Miguel, Mineral, and Ouray counties, multiple State of Colorado agencies, and private companies such as Wagner Equipment. #countiesmatter #teamwork

“Just letting you know that the story about Lake City and Lucky was just published by Backpacker yesterday. It’s online here and will also be on print stands through February… The story has had a very positive reaction so far. And please keep me in the loop about Gateway Community status!”
