Actually the
damage was being caused by those who tried to get around the bog and ripped up
the forest on both sides of it in the process.
After a year of negotiations, a compromise was reached. The 4X4 clubs would build a road across the
bog and the trail would remain open. On
Saturday, September 24, 1988, under the supervision of the Forest Service,
dozens of vehicles filled with people drove to the mud bog and repaired
it. A sign at the bog recognizes those
who contributed time, money, and materials to get the job done.
Although the mud bog is no more, the Holy Cross City Trail
has retained its reputation as the second most difficult established trail in
Colorado. There is good reason why.
