Closed roads NFSR 441.1, 441.1B, and 441.1C in the Morgan Creek Fire burn area are at high risk for failure from flash floods. Treatments are needed to remove fill and culverts, reshape slopes, and establish drainages to reduce environmental impacts.
Location
NFSR 441.1, NFSR 441.1B, and NFSR 441.1C are located near Burn Ridge and Floyd Peak, south of the Hinman Campground approximately 26 miles Northeast of Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
