| Abstract | Hanging Lake is a recreation site located on land managed by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) under the jurisdiction of the White River National Forest’s Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District. Due to its increasing popularity over the past few years, the USFS is working with the U.S. Department of Transportation John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) to develop transportation options that will assist in mitigating parking lot congestion, visitor dissatisfaction, trail crowding, and environmental degradation at the site. This Transportation and Operations Study, which analyzes four transportation and operations management options for Hanging Lake, is part of a series of reports that will assist the USFS and its stakeholders in finding a long-term, sustainable solution for these and other issues at Hanging Lake. |
