[edit]DescriptionMosquito Pass Area of Critical Environmental Concern, Colorado (15578947000).jpg |
Mosquito Pass Area of Critical Environmental Concern, Colorado The spectacular vistas of the Mosquito, Sawatch, and Rampart Ranges are just part of the experience found in the BLM-administered Mosquito Pass ACEC. It is also highly valued for the fragile alpine area that includes rare plant species including the Penland's Alpine Fen Mustard (Eutrema penlandii), a federally threatened species. Reaching this ACEC is not for the faint of heart as the road over Mosquito Pass is rugged and exposed to dramatic drop-offs. ACEC are places where special management attention is needed to protect and prevent irreparable damage to important historic, cultural and scenic values; fish, wildlife resources or other natural systems or processes; or to protect human life and safety from natural hazards.
