Pitkin Falls, Colorado - 2001
The Access Fund provided a grant to the Eagle Valley Land Trust to help pay the purchase of two building lots at the base of Pitkin Falls (a popular winter ice climb) in East Vail. The purchase established clear legal access to the Falls, solved a parking problem, and provided a continued aesthetic climbing experience for climbers visiting east Vail. Protection Method: fee acquisition by the EVLT with financial assistance from the Access Fund and other donors.
